About this deal

Ocean Spray’s cranberry heritage is bringing real juice credentials to the spirits category,” chief commercial officer and general manager Monisha Dabek says in the release.

Over the years, I have seen many variations of this classic drink, each with its unique twist. Some bartenders add a splash of lime juice or orange juice to enhance the flavors.

Step Five (optional) – For a crystal clear drink, you can now filter the vodka. This is an optional step. I don’t bother for myself, but if giving as a present I will. If you find the cranberry juice makes your drink too tart, stir in ¼ to ½ ounce of simple syrup, to taste. When figuring out how to make a good vodka cranberry, you might be tempted to shake it instead of building it in the glass. But what’s the difference in taste? And why are drinks shaken, stirred, or made in a glass? Here are a few top tips:

If you’re planning to make a lot, I totally see the need for a shortcut! See if your grocery store sells pre-squeezed, fresh lime juice. A wedge of lime would be the most common garnish but any citrus really goes – though the bright green color really gives a beautiful contrast to the deep red drink. Later, I decided to try it with vodka. Over the years I’ve perfected the recipe, adding a few spices and leaving it to infuse for a week. I am so happy with the result. It’s so much nicer than letting uncooked cranberries infuse.Squeeze in a lime wedge for a bit of citrus flavor. (Totally optional — it’s good without the lime or use lemon juice instead!) The recipe came about by happy accident one year. A very happy accident that made the best cranberry vodka I’ve ever had. Store in a cool, dark, cupboard, as you would other spirits. This Christmas cranberry vodka will keep well for up to a year (if you let it!). Hints and tips

Cranberry juice with vodka (aka a Cape Codder) is easy to sip and a popular choice for novice drinkers. So, it’s no wonder this tasty pink drink has a bit of a reputation for being a college drink. And it makes sense. The taste of the cranberry juice is sweet and tart, and the lime adds a lovely zesty twist, making it very drinkable and perfect for beginners. Tip: Room temperature citrus is easier to juice than cold, refrigerated fruit. Set your citrus fruits out on the counter for a couple hours to warm up before juicing them. How to make a Cape Codder It’s also great for a day in hot weather. It’s perfect for poolside or anytime you’re going to be out in the heat. If you like this drink… It helps to use a new cheesecloth (folded for best results) over the metal strainer to get a clear and not cloudy liqueur.

It is not essential to filter your Christmas vodka, but I think that the results are well worth it. The easiest way is to use a sieve lined with kitchen paper If you plan on making lots of liqueurs that need filtering, it is worth investing in an inexpensive filter coffee cone and filters. Spiced Vodka Cranberry 1 oz Vodka, 4 oz Hard Cider, 2 oz Aperol, 4 dashes Cranberry-Anise Bitters, 2 1-inch Minced Crystallized Ginger Pieces, 10 Cranberries, Orange Wedge The addition of the grapefruit juice works surprisingly well in this take on the traditional vodka cranberry. Grapefruit brings in a brighter edge to the heavier flavor of the cranberry and both marry well with vodka. If you’re feeling especially fun when mixing this drink, consider garnishing with cranberry ring candies as well. To create this drink:
