Cute idea with the cranberries as a garnish...
This simple, sparkling cranberry cocktail is a perfect way to wait out the final preparations before Thanksgiving dinner is served. For a child-friendly version, leave out the vodka.
CRANBERRY SPLASH
Serves: 1
5 cranberries
1 tablespoon sugar
Ice
2 ounces ginger ale
2 ounces vodka
2 ounces cranberry juice
1 ounce grenadine
Thread the cranberries onto a cocktail skewer or long toothpick.
Rinse the berries under water, then sprinkle them with the sugar. Place the skewer on a plate and freeze for 5 minutes.
Place several ice cubes in a large tumbler and add the ginger ale. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine several ice cubes, the vodka, cranberry juice and grenadine.
Shake and strain into the glass. Place the berry skewer in or on top of the glass.
