Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 ounces bourbon ((I prefer Four Roses Single Barrel))
  • 3 ounces cranberry juice
  • 2 ounces maple cranberry syrup ((adjusted to your desired level of sweetness))
  • 2 ounces seltzer or club soda
  • Maple cranberries and rosemary sprigs for garnish
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries

Instruction

  • Begin by preparing the maple cranberries and maple cranberry syrup. In a small saucepan, mix the real maple syrup and fresh cranberries. Simmer until the cranberries begin to burst (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and cool completely. (You will have enough maple cranberries and syrup to make 5-6 cocktails.)
  • Next, add ice to two rocks glasses. Top each with a tablespoon of the maple cranberries. Set aside.
  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the bourbon, cranberry juice, and maple cranberry syrup. Shake vigorously.
  • Strain into the prepared rocks glasses. Top each with a splash (1 ouncof seltzer water. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
