Who else needs a cocktail or 10 to get them through the holidays? I know I do. This holiday season you HAVE to try this cocktail out- it has all of those delicious familiar holiday flavors that you love and so easy to make! If you want to make this for a crowd you can do a large pitcher of the simple syrup and gin then add to a glass of chilled Champagne. Yum!

Ingredients

Scale

Simple Syrup:

2/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup water

1/2 cup fresh cranberries

2 pieces of orange peel

1 cinnamon stick

Cocktail:

1 1/2 oz cranberry simple syrup

2 oz Gin

Juice from half a lemon

Sparkling Wine

Instructions

In a pan over medium high heat add the sugar, water, cranberries, cinnamon stick, and orange peel

Let it come up to a boil, then turn it down to medium to let it simmer. Cook until the cranberries pop and the syrup becomes a beautiful red color, about 5 minutes

Let it cool completely 

In a shaker with ice add the simple syrup, gin, and lemon juice. Shake until chilled

Strain into champagne glasses and top with chilled champagne. Garnish with an orange peel and frozen cranberries. How delicious is that?!
