Description
A cocktail with traditional holiday flavors, but a tip of the hat to the Valley of the Sun. Lime is paired with cranberry and dashes of Angostura bitters.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz (59 ml) Vodka*
- 4 oz (118 ml)Sweetened Cranberry Juice
- ¼ Lime
- 2–3 dashes of Angostura Bitters
- Cinnamon-Sugar (enough for rimming the glass and a sprinkle on top)
- Ice
- Fresh cranberries (optional garnish)
Instructions
- On a small plate sprinkle a layer of cinnamon-sugar.
- Run the lime wedge around the edge of the glass.
- Dip the edge of the glass into the layer of cinnamon-sugar so that it gets evenly coated.
- Squeeze the lime wedge into the glass (as much juice as you can get out of it) and then place the lime wedge itself in.
- Pour in vodka, cranberry juice and bitters. Stir and then add ice.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and garnish with fresh cranberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
*Tequila also works very well in this drink, and gives it even more of a southwestern flair.
