The Dickens

¼ cup of Cranberries

⅛ teaspoon of Cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon of Cloves

½ cup of Water

½ cup of Brown Sugar

1 oz of Bourbon

3 oz of Ginger Soda

  1. To make spiced cranberry simple syrup, bring water and brown sugar to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add cranberries, cinnamon, and cloves. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes or until cranberries begin to break down. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes to an hour. Strain and set aside cranberries.
  2. To make cocktail, lightly muddle a few of the cranberries set aside from the simple syrup in a tumbler. Add bourbon, ginger soda, spiced cranberry simple syrup, and top with ice.

Get into a festive mood with this holiday-themed cocktail I invented a few years back. The combination of cranberry, bourbon, and winter spices is the perfect thing to sip while decking the halls.
