Yield: 1 drink.
Cinnamon-Honey Syrup:
1 cup honey
1 cup water
4 to 5 cinnamon sticks
Cocktail:
Ice
¼ cup cranberry juice
¼ fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons cinnamon-honey syrup
Ginger beer (for topping)
Lime wedge, sprig of rosemary, and fresh cranberries (for garnish)
For the cinnamon-honey syrup: Combine honey and water in a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Once a foam starts to form at the surface, remove from heat and add cinnamon sticks. Let steep for 1 hour before straining into an air-tight container or squeeze bottle. Syrup will keep up to 2 weeks in refrigerator.
For the cocktail: In a cocktail tin filled with ice, combine cranberry and lime juices with cinnamon-honey syrup and shake until outside of tin is very cold. Pour into a copper mug and top with ginger beer. Add fresh ice, if needed, and garnish with a lime wedge, sprig of rosemary, and fresh cranberries.
