Instructions

  1. To prepare the syrup: Combine syrup ingredients in a small saucepan on medium-low heat. Stir occasionally just until sugar dissolves (stirring a boiling sugar syrup can cause crystallization). Simmer for about 5 more minutes until thickened. Strain and cool syrup. I had about 8 ounces when I was done.
  2. To prepare one drink: Place 2 ounces spiced syrup and 1 ounce of cranberry juice in a champagne glass. Top with champagne or club soda for a mocktail (about 4-5 ounces).
  3. Garnish with sugared cranberries, orange slices, rosemary, etc. as desired.
