Tis the season for a festive vodka martini recipe! The cranberry rosemary simple syrup is what makes the Rich & Kitch Christmatini so special! The cocktail recipe uses cranberries, rosemary, coconut sugar, lemon, & vodka - that's it! Such a festive vodka drink using only a few ingredients and the healthiest sugar we know about! I love a good vodka cocktail & don't like my drinks too sugary, so this martini recipe is super refreshing around the holidays.
