Prepare the Panna Cotta:
- Place the cold water in a small bowl. Evenly sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it stand until the gelatin is absorbed.
- In a small saucepan, heat the eggnog over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Arrange six 4-ounce dessert glasses on a baking sheet. Pour approximately â…“ cup of the eggnog mixture into each glass.
- Transfer the baking sheet with the glasses to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Prepare the Spiked Cranberry Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the cranberries begin to pop, reduce the heat to a simmer. Use the back of a spatula to mash the berries against the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the orange liqueur. If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Let the sauce cool, then refrigerate until ready to use.
Assemble the Dessert:
- Once the panna cotta is firm, spoon the cranberry sauce on top of each serving, filling to the brim of the glass.
- For garnish, skewer each cranberry completely through with a toothpick, then thread a rosemary sprig through each berry. Place the garnish atop each glass.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
