1-First Step: Fill a double old fashioned glass with ice to the top, which helps keep your drink cold and refreshing from the very first sip.

2-Second Step: Pour in 4 ounces of 100% cranberry juice, making sure it’s the pure kind for that authentic tart flavor that balances the drink nicely.

3-Third Step: Add 2 ounces of good quality unflavored vodka to the glass, giving the cocktail its smooth kick feel free to adjust this based on your taste.

4-Fourth Step: Measure and pour in ½ ounce of rosemary simple syrup, which adds a subtle herbal sweetness; if you’re making it at home, remember it only takes about 15 minutes to prepare.

5-Final Step: Stir everything well until fully combined, then garnish with a rosemary sprig, lime wedge, or fresh cranberries if you want that extra festive look, and serve right away for the best taste.
