Spear three cranberries each onto the bare end of the sprigs; set aside for garnish.

On another small plate, scatter a small handful of sugar.

Repeat with three additional glasses.

Add 1 ounce cranberry juice and 1 ounce orange liqueur to each of the four glasses.

Top each glass with Champagne and a rosemary-cranberry garnish; serve immediately.

Champagne is more refined and crisp, while prosecco has a slightly sweeter flavor profile.
