my mom, who is a creative genius and ‘hostess with the mostess,’ came up with the resourceful idea of making flavored, festive ice cubes for our Thanksgiving feast.

i loved them so much that i made some for my 24th birthday party this week, and they’ve proved to be a hit amongst guests time after time again!

these festive ice cubes are absolutely stunning, a great way to add flavor to a glass of bubbly, and can easily be tailored to what you currently have on-hand. they can also be made ahead of time to help your holiday hosting efforts be as seamless and stress-free as possible!

what you’ll need

ice cube tray (this is what i used but this is a super fun option as well)

pomegranate juice

fresh rosemary sprigs

one orange (sliced into small wedges)

pomegranate seeds

water

how to make the festive ice cubes

1. fill your ice cube mold of choice about 3/4ths of the way up with half water and half pomegranate juice
2. add at least two small orange wedges, ten pomegranate seeds, and seven rosemary needles to each section of the ice cube mold
   • *you can add as many as your heart desires but i found this to be the perfect formula*
3. stir all of the contents within each ice cube section for an even dispersion
4. put the lid on, pop the tray in the freezer, and leave them be for about two days to let everything solidify
5. once ready to serve, gently pop each ice cube out onto a plate and place into a fancy schmancy glass, and top with your liquid of choice (processco has reigned as the favorite pairing around here)
6. enjoy!

ET VOILÀ! hope you have an incredible holiday season ahead.
