How to Make a Holiday Old Fashioned Cocktail

This is a festive twist on a classic Old Fashioned cocktail. The maraschino cherry juice and rosemary makes it different from the classic. Gives it a more floral taste and feels a little festive.

We typically use a bourbon, but jazzed it up instead with Southern Comfort this time! You can pick this up in pretty much every liquor store.
