Cocktail

Method

Cranberry-Sherry Blend

  1. 1

    Combine and adjust

    In a small mixing glass or jar, combine 2 oz unsweetened cranberry juice with 1 oz dry fino or manzanilla sherry and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Stir or shake briefly to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness: add up to 0.25 oz more simple syrup if the mixture is too tart. Chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Cocktail assembly

  1. 2

    Build and shake

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Add 2 oz vodka, 0.75 oz orange liqueur, 1 oz of the prepared cranberry-sherry blend, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters.

  2. 3

    Shake

    Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is cold and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.

  3. 4

    Strain

    Double-strain (use a Hawthorne and fine strainer if available) into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Straining removes small ice shards and any pulp from the citrus.

  4. 5

    Garnish

    Express an orange twist over the drink to release oils, then run it around the glass rim and drop it in as garnish. Optionally skewer 2–3 dehydrated or fresh cranberries and rest them on the rim or float them in the cocktail.
