I'm so excited to share two new holiday cocktails I created! These cocktails are inspired by my all-time favorite holiday candle, Balsam & Cedar, from yankeecandle. I light this candle for December, and my house wouldn’t feel the same without it!

From the fragrance notes in Balsam & Cedar such as citrus, evergreen, herbs, and red berry. I developed a Wilderness Sour with homemade wilderness syrup and a refreshing cranberry Campari spritz with rosé and Campari. Both recipes are below, and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Honey Wilderness Syrup
Serves 6
3 Rose Sprigs
1 tsp juniper berries, whole
3 bay leafs
1 cinnamon stick 
1 tsp allspice whole
1 cup honey 
1 cup water

Bring everything to a simmer in a small saucepan until the honey has melted, for about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it infuse for 20 minutes to 1 hour. 

Wilderness Sour
Serves 1
1-ounce wilderness syrup 
1 ounce lemon juice 
2-ounce whiskey 
1/2 egg white

Add the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake for 20 seconds—strain over a large ice cube. Garnish with a bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and two juniper berries.

Cranberry Spritz 
Serves 4
12-ounce Cranberry Juice
4 ounce Campari
12 ounces sparkling rose
4 ounces gin
6 ounces of club soda
Sugared cranberries
Rosemary Sprigs
Orange slices 

Add everything into a pitcher and garnish with cranberries, orange slices, and rosemary. You can also serve this in glass ornaments with a straw or a coupe glass.
