Can I use a different fruit instead of cranberries?

Yes, frozen red currants or pomegranate seeds work well to create a similar floating effect and tart flavor.

Is sparkling water necessary for this drink?

Sparking water adds refreshing bubbles, but you can substitute with sparkling apple cider for a sweeter taste.

Omit the simple syrup or agave nectar and rely on the natural sweetness of the fruit juices.

Fresh rosemary sprigs add a pleasant herbal aroma, while a cinnamon stick adds subtle spice notes.

Arrange orange slices upright in the glass and swirl gently before serving to enhance the snow globe effect.
