- crushed ice for your glass
- cinnamon sticks for garnish
- sugared cranberries for garnish or in your glass!

To make the drink, fill a glass with crushed ice. Stir together the syrup, cranberry and bourbon. Or, you can shake the syrup, cranberry and bourbon in a shaker for 30 seconds or so. Pour it over the ice. Smoke it.
Top the drink the seltzer and garnish with a cinnamon stick and cranberries if you wish.
CINNAMON SIMPLE SYRUP

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the sugar, water, cinnamon stick and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then turn off the heat.
