Thirsty Thursday: Crantini

Crantini

One reason why I absolutely love Thanksgiving is because of the cranberry sauce. I know many people do not like it, but I absolutely love it. People look at me crazy when I say, “man I can’t wait for the cranberry sauce.” Everyone else craves the macaroni and cheese, sweet potato pie, collard greens, and potato salad, and I crave this bitter/sweet dish lol. Well if you refuse to add my favorite delectable treat to your plate this Thanksgiving, then maybe you won’t mind a cranberry cocktail.

Ingredients

3 1/2 oz vodka

1/2 oz cranberry liqueur or cranberry juice

Craisins (dried cranberry raisins) or fresh cranberries for garnish (Soak the cranberries or craisins in vodka for one hour)

Method

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker or mixing glass with ice

Stir well

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass

Garnish by dropping cranberries in the glass
