Elevate your cocktails by making this infused Cranberry simple syrup. Only 2 ingredients to elevate your cocktail game. Perfect for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
Welcome to December where our kitchen is filled with holiday themed simple syrup, such as this Cranberry flavor. We love making our own syrup for cocktails. On Friday come back to check out our Cranberry Martini Recipe using this recipe.
This simple syrup ratio is the same ratio we use for basic syrup: 1 to 1. This recipe works with almost any fruit: mango, strawberries, blackberries, peaches, etc. You can use fresh squeezed juice (if run through a sieve) if in a pinch. Our homemade cranberry juice recipe will be posted soon.
Flavored Syrup is super easy to make and cheap to create! We use this simple syrup to add some extra sweetness to our Madras Drink recipe.

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
Throw it in a Lemon Drop Martini for added flavor.
Plus – how gorgeous is this ruby red color? That alone rocks my world. It pairs well with many Christmas Party Themes.

Until then, CHEERS!
