# Method Steps:
01 - Slice the orange and lemon thinly into rounds or half-moons. Remove pomegranate seeds and set aside.
02 - Thread a raspberry, a pomegranate seed, and a mint leaf onto each cocktail pick for a vibrant skewer. Dip the rim of each glass in water or citrus juice, then roll in granulated sugar for a sparkling rim. Place an edible rose petal or a few red currants on each skewer or directly on the drink surface.
03 - Use a microplane or vegetable peeler to create dark chocolate shavings; sprinkle lightly over the drinks. Dust with edible glitter to add a festive midnight sparkle.
04 - Present the garnished cocktails immediately to enjoy maximum freshness and visual appeal.
