HISTORY
Looking through all of the blogger entries we were impressed but The Cranberry Crush stood out in the beverage category. As with any recipe challenge we had to make sure it tasted as good as it looked. … Twist our arms to make cocktails on the job.
We started out making the cranberry syrup as instructed. Easy enough! We allowed it to cool and then combined it with Vodka, Triple Sec, a squeeze of fresh orange juice and a splash of seltzer. Added a few cranberries for garnish and an orange slice to complete the cocktail. So simple and delicious.
Seriously, this cocktail will be the talk of the party, you won’t be disappointed. Drink responsibly and enjoy!
