Cranberry gin cocktail with rosemary – a recipe for a delicious Christmas drink with cranberry syrup, gin and rosemary. This drink is lovely and perfect to enjoy at Christmas. It is made with a homemade cranberry syrup with fresh cranberries, orange juice, maple syrup, fresh rosemary, whole cloves and cinnamon sticks. Everything is brought to the boil in a pan and then strained, and the result is the most wonderful Christmas-spiced cranberry syrup.
The syrup is mixed with gin, tonic or sparkling water and ice. I decorated these drinks with fresh cranberries, sprigs of rosemary and candy canes. I made two large drinks here, but you can easily make them smaller. Adjust the amount of alcohol to how strong you want the drink to be. You can also easily make a double batch of the syrup.
The cranberry syrup keeps for a few weeks in the fridge, as long as it is stored in a sterilised jar with a tight lid. Also try my classic mulled wine, white mulled wine with elderflower or orange and pomegranate gin cocktail. Enjoy!
