Instructions

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For a homemade spiced cranberry juice, simmer cranberry juice with cinnamon sticks, cloves, and a touch of orange zest. Let cool and strain for a deliciously spiced addition.
  • Adjust the ginger beer to taste; add more for a lighter, effervescent cocktail or less for a stronger bourbon flavor.
  • For an extra festive touch, garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a few fresh cranberries.
