Ingredients
Rosemary Syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Cranberry Mocktail
- 1 ½ tsp. rosemary syrup
- 1 Tbsp. freshly squeeze lime juice
- 1/3 cup pure unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1/4-1/2 cup lime or lemon flavored sparkling water or seltzer
- ice, as needed
Optional
- rosemary
- lime slices
- fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Make a rosemary simple syrup by adding the water, granulated sugar, and rosemary to a small pot or saucepan. Set it over medium heat. Stir frequently to encourage the sugar to dissolve. Once the syrup just begins to simmer, remove it from the heat. Set it aside for 30 minutes to cool and allow the rosemary to further infuse its flavor. After 30 minutes, strain out the rosemary and bottle the syrup. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Add 1 ½ teaspoons of the rosemary simple syrup to a rocks glass or short tumbler along with the lime juice and the cranberry juice. Stir to combine.
- Fill the glass ½ to ¾ full of ice.
- Top the drink with ¼ to ½ cup lime flavored sparkling water.
- If you prefer, you can garnish the mocktail with a rosemary sprig, a lime slice, and fresh cranberries before enjoying.
Notes
- The recipe yields 6 tablespoons of simple syrup which is enough for 12 drinks. If you’d like to multiply the recipe, keep that in mind.
- A pure unsweetened cranberry juice will have the least amount of calories per serving. Make sure to check the label.
- You’ll need 1-2 limes to yield enough juice for the recipe.
