Cranberry Yuletide w/ Rosemary Simple Syrup

It's like a mule but it's festive - get it? :D I'm hosting a little holiday shindig at my place this weekend, so I thought it best to dust off the cocktail recipes and I'm always in the mood for a mule (or anything in a copper cup for that matter)...

Kickass Cran-Apple Sauce

I feel like cranberry sauce gets a bad rap. It's always the afterthought dish on your Thanksgiving table, carelessly plopped out on a plate, usually still left in its tin can form, occasionally picked at by your parents or grandparents. I was also one of those nonbelievers but ever since I made this recipe, it's become an absolute staple, a perfect sweet and tart accompaniment to a rich and savory dish.
