Instructions

Place the cranberries in the pitcher of a blender along with two cups of water. Blend on high until completely pureed with no large chunks remaining. Refrigerate overnight to infuse the cranberry flavor into the water and make the cranberry juice.
Strain the liquid from the cranberry pulp; you should collect two cups of cranberry juice. Save the cranberry pulp for later.
Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 6 sprigs of fresh rosemary in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil; boil until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool. Remove rosemary sprigs and discard.
Return the saved cranberry pulp to the blender pitcher along with the cup of vodka. Blend well, and strain to get cranberry-infused vodka. Now you can discard the cranberry pulp.
Mix the cranberry-infused vodka with the cranberry juice to make three cups of liquid. Stir in the cooled rosemary syrup.
Divide the ice into eight 8-ounce rock glasses (1/2 cup each). Top each glass with just shy of 1/4 cup of the cranberry mix (3 and 3/4 ounces).
Top each glass with one ounce of sparkling water. Stir gently, and garnish with fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs.
