This year my old friends at Trader Joe’s have provided me with yet another source of holiday martini inspiration.
Spiced Cran-tini
3 ozs Spiced Cranberry Cider
2 ozs Golden Rum
1 oz Vodka
1/2 oz triple sec
1/2 oz lemon juice
Muddle some fresh peeled ginger in the bottom of a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients and shake with ice. Strain, pour and garnish with a strip of orange zest and a dash or two of orange bitters. Fee Brothers makes a nice one. The cider is also nice on it’s own for your non- imbibing guests.
Happy Shaking!
