Sugared Cranberries:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer water and sugar for 5 minutes, or until dissolved. Turn off heat.

Add cranberries to pan, and soak for 15 minutes.

Transfer cranberries, with a slotted spoon, to prepared baking sheet. Cranberries will dry with a light, crystal glaze on them. Store covered, at room temperature, for 3 days.

Cocktail:

Fill an old fashioned glass with ice. Pour vodka into glass, then Prosecco.

Garnish with lime slices and sugared cranberries.
