A single Cocktail

Instructions
Cranberry Rosemary Infused Simple Syrup
- In a small pot, add all the ingredients for the simple syrup, and stir together. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then lower to medium high heat, until sugar is dissolved and the cranberries begin to burst. Remove from the heat, stir again, and allow to cool completely. I like to stick mine in the freezer until I'm ready for it.
For Cocktails (Either One, or 4)
- In a cocktail shaker or a small jar to mix, add the cranberries to the bottom, and the lime juice. Muddle them until completely crushed and juice comes out.
- Add in the gin, simple syrup and ice (ice is optional). Shake to combine, and then pour out all the liquid contents directly into the glass(es). You can strain the cranberry seeds if preferred.
- Top with ginger beer, and serve with a sprig of rosemary and some additional cranberries if desired. Enjoy!
