- It also features raised edges on the side to keep everything on the board, and is truly perfect for cocktails/garnishes, charcuterie, bite sized appetizers and more! It would make the perfect gift for the entertainer also! My code tipps10 will get you 10% off your purchase on the entire Dexas website!

How to Make Frosted Rosemary and Cranberries:
I love frosting fresh rosemary and cranberries for holiday cocktails. It adds a festive touch, looks beautiful, and only takes a few extra minutes! You can certainly make these ahead of time as well and store in an airtight container in the fridge until serving. Take a handful of cranberries and sprigs of rosemary and toss with simple syrup, then add to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle generously with sugar. Let cool and use as garnishes!
