Cranberry Old Fashioned

There's nothing better to me than a festive Holiday cocktail. With the Holiday season in full swing that means there's no shortage of cranberries. Take advantage of them by making this delicious cocktail! I like to make a large batch of the simple syrup and have it in my refrigerator at all times... just in case. Cheers!
