The holidays are a time to celebrate connection, warmth, and the little moments that bring us joy. This week’s The Featured Table is all about embracing those festive vibes with a drink that’s as beautiful as it is delicious: Cranberry and Rosemary Sparkling Punch.

This punch combines the tartness of cranberry juice with the earthy sweetness of rosemary simple syrup, finished with a bubbly sparkle. Garnished with fresh cranberries and sprigs of rosemary, it’s the perfect addition to your holiday gatherings—whether as a non-alcoholic refresher or a spiked treat.

We styled this week’s table with August Table Seraphim Napkins in Red and Green in holiday hues and accented it with natural decor for an inviting, festive feel. Scroll down for the recipe and tips to bring this cheerful moment to your own celebrations.
