A delightful holiday cocktail that is perfect for bringing in the new year! In a small/medium saucepan, heat cranberries, sugar and water together. As the mixture starts to boil, the cranberries will pop. Bring to a boil on high heat, and then reduce to a simmer and let cook for approximately 15-17 minutes. The cranberries will become soft and a deep red syrup will form. Making sure it cooks down enough is essential to keeping the ombre effect. Take off of the heat. You can choose to drain the cranberries, keeping the syrup in a separate bowl or keep them together. Set both aside and allow to cool. Once the mixture(s) have cooled, spoon 4 tbsp of the cranberries/syrup into the champagne flute. Tilt champagne and pour champagne to where it hits the glass instead of the cranberry syrup first. Garnish with fresh cranberries, a sprig of rosemary or any other fruit. Enjoy! For sugar rim, dip into lemon juice or champagne and then into the sugar crystals before adding the cranberries and champagne.
