This festive mocktail is flavored with cranberry juice, maple syrup, fresh rosemary and can be enjoyed by everyone! The pretty colors make it perfect for the holidays!
First, we will make the maple rosemary simple syrup. To a pan on medium heat, add water, maple syrup and 2-3 twigs of fresh rosemary. Let it heat up (no boiling needed), and once warm turn off the heat. Cover the pan with a plate and let it sit for around 20 to 30 minutes for the flavors to steep in. This makes enough for 4 to 5 drinks depending on how large or small your glasses are and how such syrup would you add to each drink.
Once the flavors are well infused, it's time to make the drink. I am giving quantities for a single drink here- For 1 drink, to a cocktail shaker, add 1 to 2 ounces of the prepared syrup (1 oz. for a less sweeter mocktail).
Then add 2 ounces of cranberry juice (use unsweetened juice). Add generous pinch of all spice.
Now close the shaker and shake few times until everything is well combined.
To your glass, now add few ice cubes and few fresh cranberries. Then fill the glass with the drink. Top with 2 to 3 ounces of soda water. Garnish with a fresh twig of rosemary!
Notes
Cranberry juice can be replaced with pomegranate juice.
