Rosemary-orange old fashioned

Throw a sprig or two of rosemary and the zest of an orange in a pot with 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to boil then let steep for 30 min. Strain into jar.

2 oz bourbon
1 - 1.5 tsp simple syrup
Dash bitters

Mix and pour over ice. Garnish with orange slice and small sprig of rosemary.

I mix cranberry vodka (Deep Eddy) with lime spindrift. Splash of cider if you have on hand. Tart and not sweet!

This. Best part of the season.

A Fall 75.

Here's one recipe: https://food52.com/recipes/84269-french-75-cocktail-recipe-with-blood-orange-berries

There was a thread on this not too long ago. I’m making Negroni Sbagliato or Ritz cocktails this year, I love something sparkling for the holidays.
I also have made the Minnesota goodbye (cranberry French 75) from Serious Eats and it’s a great Thanksgiving drink.
