Rosemary sets Christmas vibes right
The drink decoration idea involved using rosemary leaves to resemble Christmas trees.
In the video, a gardener named Michael Griffiths showed chopping down a few rosemary from his garden to use them in garnishing his drink. “How to make a Christmas tree in a glass”, read the video title which featured turning rosemary into a Christmas tree, raising the festival vibe high in the air.
Sharing the idea online, Michael said, “The idea is simple. You cut or buy some rosemary, trim the bottom leaves, put some water in a glass, drop your rosemary in, stick it in”. He called the impressive looking glass ready to serve a drink a “Mini Christmas tree”.
He suggested pouring something bubbly, like sparkling wine, into the decorated glass to enhance the appearance of the drink. “When you add something bubbly, looks all festive”, he wrote.
The glass filled with a neat pour looked enchanting, setting every viewer in the festival mood.

Capturing the festive charm, this drink decoration idea won the hearts on the internet. “That’s really creative”, they wrote while praising the Instagrammer for his idea of turning the rosemary into a beautiful Christmas tree.
