It’s the holidays! A wonderful and most Booziest time of year. And to make your spirits brighter here is a festive fun cocktail you can whip up with just a few simple ingredients and a couple of really hard shakes.
Festive Fizz Cocktail
Serves 2
Recipe from all recipes
Ingredients:
Holiday Simple Syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 (3-inch) rosemary sprig
For Cocktail
1 egg white (If you are concerned about consuming raw egg use 2 tablespoons pasteurized liquid egg whites, such as Egg Beaters).
1/4 cup white rum
1-1/2 tablespoons Holiday Simple Syrup
6 to 8 ounces sparkling rose wine
Directions:
Make Syrup:
1. Stir together sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat and add cinnamon and rosemary. Cover and steep 1 hour.
Note: This makes more syrup than needed: use leftovers in iced tea or another cocktail. Leftover syrup will keep chilled in an airtight container up to 1 month.
2. Discard cinnamon and rosemary. Spoon 1-1/2 tablespoons syrup into a small bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 10 minutes.
Make Cocktail:
3. Put egg white, rum, and chilled syrup in a shaker. Cover and shake hard 15 seconds. Add ice to shaker and shake hard until chilled and frothy, 30 to 45 seconds.
4. Strain into 2 coupe glasses. Top each with 3 to 4 ounces wine. Garnish with a pinch of ground cinnamon and fresh rosemary. Serve immediately.

This sounds like a wonderful cocktail, Velva! I tried one at Thanksgiving that had a rosemary simple syrup but used cranberry grape juice and prosecco and it was just too sweet. This one sounds so much better!
