Yield Makes 8 servings

Steps:
- Bring cranberries, sugar, wine, rosemary, and 2 2/3 cups water to a boil in a 6- to 8-quart pot, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until all berries have burst, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour into a large colander lined with dampened paper towels and set in a deep bowl, then let stand until all juices have drained through, 10 to 15 minutes, and discard solids. If you have more than 4 cups cranberry liquid, boil in a small saucepan until reduced; if less, add water to bring total to 4 cups.
- Stir together gelatin and remaining cup water in a clean small saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat over moderate heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved. Stir gelatin mixture into cranberry liquid until combined. Pour cranberry mixture into lightly oiled mold (see cooks' note, below), skimming off any foam. Cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and chill until firmly set, at least 12 hours.
- To unmold, run tip of a thin knife between edge of mold and jelly. Tilt mold sideways and tap side of mold against a work surface, turning it, to evenly break seal and loosen cranberry jelly. Keeping mold tilted, invert a plate over mold, then invert cranberry sauce onto plate.
Tips:
- For a refreshing and flavorful cocktail, use fresh cranberries and rosemary. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries can be substituted.
- To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- For the julep, muddle the cranberries, rosemary, and simple syrup in a glass. Add bourbon and ice, and stir until well combined.
- Garnish the julep with a sprig of rosemary and a fresh cranberry.
Conclusion:
The Cranberry Rosemary Julep is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its festive red color and bright herbal flavor, this julep is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. Cheers!
