Remember the Seabreeze? It was born of Massachusetts' wealth of cranberries. Swap the drink's vodka base for gin and rosemary-infused simple, add lime to tarten it up even more, and then dump a bunch of champagne on top. Now you have a much-improved Seabreeze that would tempt the most teetotaling pilgrim.

- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
