Spiced Cranberry Old Fashioned

This festive twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail features spiced cranberry syrup for a burst of holiday flavors.

Ingredients - Serves 1

In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, water, sugar, cinnamon stick, and orange peel.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and let cool. Strain the syrup into a jar, discarding the solids.
In an old fashioned glass, muddle an orange slice and a few cranberries.
Add the bourbon, spiced cranberry syrup, and bitters. Stir well to combine.
Fill the glass with ice and garnish with a cinnamon stick, orange slice, and a few cranberries.
Serve and enjoy!
