Ingredients
  • Sugared Cranberries:
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 c water
  • 2 c cranberries
  • ½ c sugar for sugaring the cranberries
  • Cocktail:
  • 1-1/2 oz Unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 1 to 1-1/2 oz simple syrup (reserved from sugared cranberries)
  • 1-1/2 oz Jameson Irish whiskey
  • 3 oz Ginger beer
  • Ice
  • Garnish:
  • 1 rosemary spring

Instructions
  1. Start by making the sugared cranberries and cranberry simple syrup. Bring the sugar and water to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Cool slightly. Pour over cranberries. Allow to sit overnight. Drain cranberries, reserving the simple syrup. Allow the cranberries to sit on a baking sheet until they become tacky. Roll the cranberries in sugar and place on a dry baking sheet.
  2. Now let’s mix the drink. Fill a copper mug with ice.
  3. Pour in the cranberry juice, simple syrup, whiskey, and ginger beer.
  4. Garnish with an orange slice and sugared cranberries on a cocktail toothpick. And a sprig of rosemary.
