I’ve been finding new ways to use the bottle I picked up since. Candied ginger on a toothpick makes for a beautiful and delicious edible garnish too! Effortless, but party ready in no time.Īs I mentioned in my last post, the grocery store isn’t closed yet and I highly recommend you run/drive/subway to your local store ASAP so you can drink this tonight, tomorrow, and the next day. No triple sec needed for this recipe! Instead I used the Domaine de Canton instead, which I was recently introduced to on a Friendsgiving shoot for Epicurious with Diana. If it’s perfect for you, pour it into a glass and hit the pool. Now give it a little taste and see how you like the bitterness. Cranberries, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and a well-balanced bourbon marry. Mix your mezcal, Grand Marnier and the juice of one lime (about 1.5 tablespoons) in a cocktail shaker with some ice. This Bourbon Cranberry Spice Cocktail is the holiday season all in one glass. This cranberry lemonade might be a more traditional holiday drink, but when Christmas is usually 70 degrees and rich with molé and guacamole then this cranberry ginger margarita might be just the festive drink you were searching for.įor the ginger liquor, I really like Domaine de Canton! Call your local liquor store to see if it’s carried there, if not BevMo usually has this brand. Ingredients 1 ½ cup 100 cranberry juice ¾ cup freshly squeezed lime juice ¾ cup tequila ½ cup orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec Ice cubes Fresh cranberries and lime wedges for the garnish, optional Method In a glass, add the tequila, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and lime juice and stir well. If you’re not a fan of a salted rim, skip this step. Margaritas are my drink of choice any day of the year to be honest though so naturally creating a holiday twist on my favorite drink was all too easy. 1 1/2 oz silver tequila1 oz Cranberry Hibiscus Element Shrub1/4 oz mint simple syrupAdd all ingredients to a shaker.Shake with ice. This gives it a pure, tart flavor and a dark red color. But so do tamales on Christmas Eve and margaritas. Add mezcal, lime juice and Cointreau to a cocktail shaker, and shake or stir until combined.

I’ve talked about how oranges remind me of California style Christmas already. 2 ounces of brandy (or bourbon whiskey) 1 ounce of lemon juice. The sweet-tart syrup balances the smoky mezcal nicely, making this a good choice for folks new to the spirit. For the last three years we haven’t gone home to California for Christmas, but every year before that Alex and I spent the holidays at home in southern California. Another not-so-traditional julep, this recipe keeps the mezcal and basil from our last recipe but adds a tart cranberry syrup made with 100 pure, unsweetened cranberry juice. THIS is what I want to be drinking during the holidays.
