Instructions
- Assemble: Arrange orange slices and cranberries into the bottom of each ice cube well (this is the ice cube tray I used), then add in star anise, cinnamon sticks, and rosemary.Once you have them looking how you like, pour cranberry juice into each well, almost (but not quite) to the top.

Notes
- If you don't have Aperol, you can substitute it with another bitter orange liqueur, like Campari. The flavor will be slightly different, but it'll still taste delicious!
- The ice cubes can last in the freezer for up to 2 months in an airtight container.
