Christmas Wreath Mocktail

This is for all you party people who love a festive drink, but don’t want to end up with like 50 cavities by the end of the night! The light earthy sweetness of the rosemary simple syrup pairs beautifully with the tart cranberry and fresh lemon. Plus, how fucking adorable are the additions of frozen cranberries in place of ice cubes and bigass sprigs of fresh rosemary?!
