How does a cosmo that’s full of fabulous savory notes sound? Yes, you’ll have to make a cranberry shrub in order to shake up this delicious cocktail, but after the first sip you’ll consider it time well spent. The shrub will last for months and will be perfect for batching cocktails the next time you host a crowd.
- 1½ oz New Deal Vodka or Portland 90 Vodka
- ¾ oz orange liqueur
- ½ tsp allspice liqueur
- ½ oz cranberry shrub (recipe below)
- ¼ oz lime juice
- ¼ oz simple syrup
- 1 orange peel for garnish
Shake all ingredients with ice and double strain into a martini or coupe glass. Garnish with an orange peel.
Cranberry shrub: Combine 12 oz of whole cranberries and 6 oz water. Cook in a crockpot (or on a stove top at a low simmer) for 2 hours until berries are mushy. Add 24 oz of vinegar and 24 oz of simple syrup, then put the mixture in the fridge and let sit for 1 day minimum. Strain into a sanitized container like a mason jar or glass bottles. Good for 1-2 years.
