Mistletoe Kiss
Make this as a holiday cocktail option or skip the vodka for a yummy, light mocktail that won’t be packed with sugar.
YOU’LL NEED:
2 sprigs of rosemary (plus more for garnish)
Handful of cranberries
1 cup club soda
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup monkfruit sweetener
1 oz lemon juice
1 shot of vodka (omit for mocktail)
*This makes one individual drink
HOW TO:
1. Combine the water and monkfruit in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while occasionally stirring.
2. Once boiled for 5 minutes, remove from heat and add rosemary sprigs. Steep for 15 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally. Then remove sprigs and pour syrup into a sealed container and refrigerate until cool (this makes enough for 4-6 drinks).
3. For the cocktail/mocktail - add crushed ice, club soda, 2 tbsp of your rosemary simple syrup, vodka (no vodka for mocktail) & lemon juice to a shaker and mix well.
4. Pour over crushed ice and garnish with rosemary and cranberries. Serve and enjoy!
