Cranberry-Rosemary Sparkler

• 1 orange
• 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced ginger
• 2 leafy rosemary sprigs, each about 7 to 8 inches long
• 1 cup raw sugar
• 1 cup water
• Freshly squeezed lime or orange juice, for finishing
• Sparkling water (or cava), for finishing
• Frozen cranberries for garnish (optional)

1. To get started: Remove rind from orange in long strips using a sharp vegetable peeler, taking care to avoid white pith. Juice the orange. You should have about 1/2 cup of juice.
2. To make syrup: Combine orange rind, juice, cranberries, ginger, rosemary, raw sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Lower heat and maintain a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes; you want the cranberries to pop and release their juice. Take off heat and let cool to room temperature; leave rosemary sprigs in so they'll impart more flavor. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing down and scraping back and forth with a spatula to extract as much of the juice as possible. Discard solids. Store in a tightly-sealed glass jar or measuring cup in the refrigerator for one week.
3. To make soda: Combine 3 parts syrup with 1 part lime (or orange) juice. Add sparkling water or cava until you get the dilution you prefer. Frozen cranberries make a nice garnish.
