We’re calling this one an Old Fashioned-ish because it’s got bourbon (instead of whiskey) and a few familiar flavors, but we’re doing our own thing here! Ginger beer brings a little spice and fizz, vanilla smooths everything out, and lemon juice and cranberry syrup add just the right balance of tart and sweet. It’s got a lovely fall and holiday feel without being too fussy. Mix one up, pour it over ice, and enjoy!
