You’ll become the party’s mixologist with this seasonal cocktail recipe. Rosemary simple syrup is the secret sauce.

Makes 4

Instructions:

1. In a small pot over medium heat whisk together sugar, water and rosemary. Simmer for 2-3 minutes creating a syrup. Remove from heat, strain to remove the rosemary and refrigerate.
2. Fill a shaker with ice and pour in whiskey, sour mix, simple syrup and cranberry juice. Shake and pour over ice filled rocks glasses. Garnish with cranberries and rosemary before serving.

Tip: This recipe is great without the whiskey, for a classy adult “zero proof” drink. You can also make a big batch for a lovely punch (leave some cranberries and rosemary on the side for garnish).
