Mistletoe Kiss Cocktail
Makes 2 Cocktails
Ingredients
For the Rosemary Simple Syrup:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Two-3-inch sprigs rosemary
For the Cocktails:
- 4 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 ounce rosemary simple syrup (or regular simple syrup)
- About 4 ounces club soda
- Handful of fresh or frozen whole cranberries
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
Instructions
Rosemary Simple Syrup
- Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to make sure all the sugar dissolves. Boil for about 2 minutes then remove from heat.
- Add the sprigs of rosemary and allow to cool. Store in a glass jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cocktail
- Combine the vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup in an iced filled shaker.
- Shake vigorously for 15 seconds, then strain and divide the mix between 2 ice filled old fashioned glasses (the glasses should be about 3/4 full).
- Add a few cranberries to each of the cocktails, then top with club soda (about 2 ounces each cocktail).
- Finish by adding a sprig of rosemary to each of the cocktails to use as a stirrer. Give each cocktail a little swirl to incorporate the club soda and serve.
