This is a cocktail recipe for anyone who loves the festive flavors of Thanksgiving. These ingredients are all available at your local grocery store or liquor store, and they make a fantastic combination together.
In a saucepan, simmer one cup of fresh cranberries with ½ cup maple syrup. Heat until the cranberries start to pop. Then remove the mixture from the stove.
Once it cools, add ice to a rocks glass. Then, top the ice with some of the cranberries you cooked in the maple syrup.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add some of the syrup from the cranberries. You can add as much syrup as you want to make the drink as sweet as you like. Now add the bourbon and cranberry juice, and shake vigorously.
Strain the cocktail into the prepared rocks glass. Top with a splash of seltzer water or club soda. For garnish, add a sprig of fresh rosemary, and if you like, a few fresh cranberries.
