- Sprinkle 5-6 pomegranate seeds into each mold (the number will depend upon the size of your molds). Insert a small sprig of rosemary into each and transfer to the freezer for several hours up to overnight.
Sugar Rim
- Add about 3 tablespoons of liquid to a small shallow bowl (water, cranberry juice, citrus liqueur such as Cointreau). The bowl should be just large eniough for the rim of the glass.
- Add the sugar to another small shallow bowl or plate. Working one at a time, dip the rim of the glass into the liquid then gently roll the rim in the sugar. Repeat until all the glasses are rimmed. Note: this step can be done a few hours ahead. Reserve glasses in the refrigerator.
Assembling the Mistletoe Mimosas
- Carefully pour cranberry juicy into each glass about 1/4 of the way up (adjust according to how strong you prefer your cocktail).
- Top with prosecco leaving space at the top then add one festive ice cube to each glass and enjoy right away.
