Wonderful Merry Cranberry Fizz

Every holiday season I am looking for a fun and festive drink to share with my guests. This is the one that I have used and love! The Merry Cranberry Fizz. This drink mixes the sweet herbaceousness of rosemary simple syrup with the lovely tartness of cranberry juice, just a touch of citrus and some fizz for fun. This drink can be made in batches multiply the recipe by the amount of guest. Serve in a sugar rimmed glass with a fun orange twist, a sprig of rosemary, and some cranberries and now you are ready to celebrate! Give it a try I think you will love this new favorite holiday drink!
