Categories     beverage

Time P2DT15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries
6 (1-by-3-inch) strips of orange zest, plus extra for serving (see Cook's Note)
1 (750 milliliter) bottle good vodka, such as Grey Goose
1 cup cranberry juice cocktail, preferably tart
1/4 cup Triple Sec
Ice

Steps:

  • Several days ahead, place the sugar, cranberries, 6 strips of orange zest, and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, until the cranberries start to pop open. Pour the vodka into a large pitcher, add the cranberry mixture, and store covered in the refrigerator for at least 2 days and up to 5 days.
  • When ready to serve, strain the vodka mixture, reserving the cranberries and discarding the orange zest. Stir in the cranberry juice cocktail and Triple Sec. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the drink mixture, shake for a full 30 seconds (it's longer than you think!), and strain into martini glasses. Rub the rim of each glass with fresh orange zest, spoon a few cranberries into each glass, and serve ice cold.

Adding the cranberries in three stages, along with crumbled nuts, results in a wonderful conserve with layers of texture and flavor. The turbinado sugar imparts subtle caramel undertones.
