Cranberry Gin Smash

• Cranberry Gin Smash Cocktail
• 6 fresh cranberries
• 1 ounce rosemary simple syrup
• 1 ounce lemon juice
• 2 ounces gin
• 1 Cranberry + Rosemary Sprig Garnish
• Rosemary Simple Syrup
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary

1. First make your simple syrup. Combine all ingredients in small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Boil until all sugar has dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and let cool, allowing rosemary to 'steep' in the syrup, 30-45 minutes.
3. Remove rosemary sprigs and transfer to airtight container. Chill before using.
4. To assemble your cocktail, muddle cranberries with rosemary simple syrup in a 16 oz pint glass.
5. Add ice to fill half the glass.
6. Add lemon juice + gin.
7. Cover with cocktail shaker and shake well for 10-15 seconds.
8. With a fine mesh strainer, strain liquid into serving glass.
9. To serve, add a couple fresh ice cubes (equally delicious straight up if you fancy).
10. Garnish with a rosemary sprig speared with a cranberry.
