Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the bourbon, cranberry juice, and maple syrup.
Shake vigorously until well-chilled.
Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
Top with a splash of club soda for a refreshing finish.
Garnish with maple cranberries and a sprig of rosemary to enhance the festive presentation.
Notes
Pro Tips
To make maple cranberries, simply coat fresh cranberries in a small amount of maple syrup, then roll in sugar for a frosted appearance and extra sweetness.
For a more intense rosemary aroma, gently slap the rosemary sprig between your hands before using it as a garnish.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your sweetness preference; a little extra makes the drink more dessert-like.
