Method
step 1
For the syrup, bring 100ml water, the golden caster sugar and fennel seeds to a simmer. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and cool fully. Pour the vodka into a large wine glass with a handful of ice. Add 20ml of the fennel syrup, lemon juice and the sparkling water. Stir, then top with the prosecco. Garnish with the cranberries (fresh or frozen), a few dill or fennel fronds and the rosemary sprigs, if you like.
