Add the mint leaves and simple syrup to the HCG glass.
Muddle the mint into the syrup.
Add the brandy and the crushed ice.
Top with champagne.
Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.

Elevated Options:
Use apple or pear brandy to change the flavor profile of the cocktail. You can also add seasonal berries on top of the crushed ice for an additional garnish.
