How to Make the Viral Snowglobe Cocktail

Here’s a simple & elegant way to serve any cocktail or mocktail this holiday season.

This viral snowglobe cocktail has caught my eye this year but it took me FOUR tries to get it right! It is simple but I tried to make it all fancy with edible glitter, but it made the drink all murky and you can’t see the rosemary sprig.


And speaking of rosemary, try to get the freshest rosemary possible with a sturdy stem because my second attempt failed since the rosemary was too bendy and it snapped it half while pouring my drink. On top of that, a rosemary near its shelf life will turn dark or brown in the freezer!

Lastly, don’t wait around to pour your drink because the ice melts relatively quickly and the rosemary and ice will pop up making this whole experiment a moot point.

Now you wonder if this is worth your hassle if there are so many things that can go wrong with such a simple cocktail and I would say, yes, it was totally worth it. One because I just shared all my missteps so that you can succeed on your first try. Two, its very simple to do for such enjoyment. Three, it’s very inexpensive and relative low effort for a little bit of magic for yourself or others. And four, because you deserve a little treat and moment for yourself. You’re worth this little hassle 😉

This was such a pretty way to drink gin & tonic or even a seltzer water! Would you try this for your next holiday party?
