Cranberry Rob Roy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • juice from 1/2 orange
  • zest from 1/2 orange
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 ounces scotch

Instructions

  1. Boil ingredients for simple syrup on low heat until cranberries burst and cook down. Be patient - this process might take a while! If you cook the cranberries on too high of heat, the might explode a bit wildly and spray you.
  2. Once the cranberries have cooked down into a smooth, sauce-like consistency (yes! this process is not unlike making cranberry sauce) remove from heat and strain remaining fruit pieces out using a mesh strainer.
  3. Cool simple syrup to room temperature until you're ready to use it. I always speed this process up with the freezer because I'm impatient for cocktail time.
  4. Add ice to a cocktail shaker with 1 ounce simple syrup, 1 ounce sweet vermouth and 2 ounces scotch. Garnish with a few fresh cranberries for extra tartness and color, and add a dash of bitters.
