Cranberry BourbonSour Punch

Get in the holiday spirit and raise a glass to Holidays on the Farm at Frey Ranch with the Cranberry Bourbon Sour!

Start by making your sugared rosemary garnish, which is one of the most beautiful parts of the Frey Ranch Cranberry Bourbon Punch! To make it, add ½ cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup water to a small pot. Bring to a boil, and let simmer on low heat for 3 minutes. Stir in fresh rosemary to full coat in the syrup. Let it sit for about 2 minutes. Remove your rosemary and place on a cooling rack or parchment-lined sheet, and let dry for 1 hour. Place the remaining sugar on a plate, and roll the sticky rosemary sprigs to coat in sugar.

Next, start making your cranberry syrup. In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring your water, maple syrup, and cranberries to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until the cranberries begin to burst, then remove from heat. Next, add fresh orange zest to your cranberry syrup mixture. Add additional water if your syrup thickens too quickly! If desired, strain out the cranberries, otherwise set aside and start working on your other ingredients.

Next, combine your Frey Ranch bourbon, lemon juice, cranberry juice, orange bitters, and cranberry syrup to a punch bowl (or large mixing bowl). Stir all ingredients to combine, and chill until ready to serve. Serve over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a fresh orange slice and sprig of candied rosemary. Cheers!
