This cocktail has become a regular part of my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus. All the family members enjoy this herb infused champagne and pomegranate combination. The easy preparation is a plus. I make it every year.

we made these last year and most thought the rosemary was a little too strong but it wasn't bad...

The color was gorgeous and the rosemary scent was a lovely surprise. Made the drinks once by recipe proportions and once again with slightly less syrup per glass. We preferred a bit less added sugar, perhaps because we were building on Proseco instead of Champagne.
