Spiced Cranberry Cosmo
INGREDIENTS
0.5 oz of Cointreau or Dry Curacao
0.5 oz Cranberry Juice
0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
0.5 oz Spiced Cranberry Syrup (Recipe Below)
Technique
Combine all ingredients into the larger side of your weighted shaker tin set, fill the small side of the weighted shaker tin with ice. Shake vigorously for 8 seconds to mix the cocktail together. Uncap the tin and use a Hawthorne strainer to pour through a fine mesh strainer to capture any ice chips into a chilled Coupe Glass. Garnish with a fresh or dried lime wheel.
1:1 Spiced Cranberry Simple Syrup
In a saucepan lightly toast a cinnamon stick, ground ginger, whole allspice and cloves until they are fragrant. Then add 8 oz of cranberry juice and 1 cup of turbinado sugar and heat it on medium low heat and stir it until the sugar dissolves. Cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let it steep for 6 minutes, strain the whole ingredients out, and let the syrup cool before putting it into a bottle or a container.
Hot Tip: Add a 0.5 oz of Vodka to your syrup to increase the shelf life.
