It’s officially holiday season! Which means I found some extra cranberries mixed with some sugar and cinnamon sitting in a bowl on the counter. I decided to make a cranberry simple syrup and create a cocktail from there!
Ingredients
Cranberry simple syrup
- 6 oz cranberries tossed in some sugar and cinnamon
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
Cocktail
- 1 1/2 oz mezcal
- 1/4 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz cranberry simple syrup
- 4-5 dashes orange bitters
- 2 sage leaves
- Splash of Topo Chico
Instructions
- Boil simple syrup ingredients for about 15 min.
- Mash cranberries.
- Pour syrup through strainer. And chill.
- Combine all cocktail ingredients in shaker with ice.
- Pour over ice cube.
- It comes out a little thick so top with however much topo chico you want.
- Take one save leaf, bend in half and slice so leaf sits on the rim of the glass.
- Rub sage around rim of glass.
- Serve! 🥂
