Notes

No cranberry simple syrup - If you don’t have cranberry simple syrup, you can use plain simple syrup.
Rosemary simple syrup - for a Yule Mule style mocktail, use rosemary simple syrup in place of cranberry simple syrup.
No alcohol-alternative - If you don’t have an alcohol alternative like Seedlip, you can simply omit it and add a few extra drops or dashes of bitters.
