The Golden Pig, Hopland
This festive and fruity concoction offers a wintery herbaceous twist on the ever-popular Cosmopolitan. Created by the bar staff at The Golden Pig, one of Hopland’s most beloved eateries, it blends vodka (any brand can be used) and an easy-to-make citrus-rosemary infused syrup that’s perfect for the holiday season.
- 1.5 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce cranberry juice
- 1.2 ounces orange juice
- Splash of lemon juice
- Granulated white sugar

To make the syrup: Pour equal parts water and sugar into a small saucepan. Add a couple of sprigs of rosemary and orange peel, then simmer on low heat until the mixture is infused and fragrant.
Add ice, vodka, cranberry juice, orange juice, lemon juice and one ounce of the infused syrup to a cocktail shaker, then shake well. Transfer to a sugar-rimmed glass and enjoy!
