- 1 oz cinnamon maple syrup (recipe below)
- 1/2 oz lemon juice
- 1 egg white
cinnamon maple syrup
- 1/3 cup maple syrup

Notes
*Sugared rosemary and cranberries: Bring 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water to a simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 5-8 minutes. Set up a baking sheet with a wire rack overtop.
