A beautiful way to serve water while keeping it light, refreshing, and festive! Cranberry, orange, and rosemary-infused water is made with freshly sliced oranges, cranberries, and a few sprigs of rosemary to make this the perfect way to spruce up drinking water.

If you love this recipe, make sure you check out my Cranberry Ginger Sunset Fizz mocktail as well as my Black Cherry Cucumber Gimlet. Also, if you love cranberries, this Sweet and Spicy Cranberry Salsa is SO DELICIOUS and festive and serves as the perfect appetizer for holiday parties or a family game night.

Cranberry Orange Rosemary Water

The Cranberry-Orange Craze

During the holiday season, there are always certain foods or trends that just stick. I am a huge Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint Mocha fan, but this year I added a few more favorites to my list. I’ve been on a Cranberry-Orange kick this season, and I knew with the holidays coming up, I wanted to do something a little different. OK, I also had a bunch of oranges that I needed to consume—and soon! Cranberries are energizing and tart but in a good way. They are also low in sugar and high in acidity, which makes these delicious berries the perfect compliment to oranges for a refreshing drink.

Make It Festive!

I figured since I already had one cranberry cocktail/mocktail recipe, I could totally include another fun and festive, non-alcoholic beverage that everyone can enjoy! This Cranberry Orange Rosemary Water is SO REFRESHING and delicious! Also, if you want a more pronounced cranberry flavor, muddle your cranberries before adding them to the pitcher.

Ingredients You Will Need:

Oranges

Cranberries

Rosemary

Purified Water

From Garden to Drink

As for the rosemary, I’m a little biased because it’s picked straight from our garden and that just makes my soul happy. It’s the little things I tell ya!

Sugared Rosemary

I’ve seen sugared cranberries, but there’s something special about sugared rosemary that just brings all the magic! It gives me Winter Wonderland vibes. It has also been wildly popular the past two years, so I thought I’d make some this year! It’s so pretty if you’re going for a festive spread or garnish.

CAN YOU USE SPARKLING WATER FOR THIS RECIPE?

Yes and no. With carbonated beverages, the fizzier the better. With cranberry, orange, and rosemary infused into your water, you have to allow it to sit for at least one to two hours at room temperature—OR three hours minimum refrigerated. You want the water to soak up all of the delicious flavors of the combination you are trying to achieve. An option for my fizzy drinkers: cut your cranberries in half, muddle them, add fresh squeezed orange juice then add a sprig of rosemary for garnish.
