Day Drinking: Cramble

Today, we'll be putting a holiday twist on a classic — the bramble. In the spirit of Christmas, we've added cranberries to create this holiday drink, the cramble.

You'll need:

• 1 ½ oz. gin
• ¾ oz. lemon juice
• 1 oz. cranberry liqueur
• ½ oz. simple syrup
• Glass filled with crushed ice
• fresh cranberries

Combine ingredients in shaker, add ice cubes and shake.

Pour over crushed ice.

Garnish with fresh cranberries

How to make cranberry liqueur

You need:

• 2 cups simple syrup
• 2 cups of cranberries
• zest of 1 lime
• 3 cups of vodka

Blend cranberries and simple syrup in a blender until very finely chopped.

Stir in lemon zest and vodka.

Let the mixture steep in a sealed container for a minimum of four days (you can go all the way up to two weeks).

Store container in the fridge while steeping.

Stir daily.

After steeping, strain the mix through a mesh strainer and cheese cloth to remove all pulp.

Store liqueur in a sealed container, like a corked bottle or a mason jar.

Cheers!
