The Easiest (Yet Still Impressive) Holiday Cocktail

So here is my dilemma in life; I love things to look beautiful, but I hate being inefficient. For instance, I would love to have an amazing cocktail at every gathering, but I know for a fact I would be miserable trying to make them all evening. So I've learned a few go-tos that seem impressive, but really anyone could knock them out in a few mere minutes before the party begins.  These are so easy in fact, they don't even need a recipe.

Enter the Rosemary Cranberry Fizz. I just made that name up, because you could literally name this thing anything. The ingredients are simple - Champagne, cranberries (I prefer frozen because they help keep the bubbly chilled) and a sprig of rosemary (and perhaps a little splash of St. Germaine). That's it. But it looks so festive, and really tastes like Christmas. And your guests can even assemble their own. Wins all around.
