Happy New Year, everyone!
In celebration of an exciting 2014, I’d like to share with you a winter cocktail I created with a variety of seasonal ingredients. It’s a great way to use those leftover cranberries!
Shake together and serve over ice:
- 3 parts gin
- 3 parts simple syrup
- 2 parts berry/peppercorn reduction*
- 1 part lemon juice
- splash of seltzer
*For the berries, I combined a little over half a pound of fresh cranberries, red currants and a teaspoon of pink peppercorns. I boiled this in a cup of water until the berries had burst, let the mixture cool, then put the syrup through a strainer to remove seeds and skins.
Enjoy!
