Directions

Make the Rosemary-Thyme Simple Syrup
  1. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, rosemary, and thyme. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain out herbs and cool completely.
Assemble the Cocktails:
  1. In a large pitcher filled with ice, combine rosemary-thyme simple syrup, bourbon,cranberry juice, and lemon juice. Stir well.
  2. To serve, divide the cocktail mixture evenly among 6 rocks glasses filled with fresh ice.
  3. Garnish each drink with a sprig of rosemary and a few fresh cranberries.
  • You can make the rosemary-thyme simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, add an extra ounce of simple syrup to the pitcher.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the bourbon and top each drink with sparkling cranberry juice and soda water.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of mint leaves to your preference. Muddling the leaves slightly will release more of their flavor.
