Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick, 2-inch
2 strips orange peel
3 fresh or frozen cranberries
3 mint leaves
1 quart lime quarter
1 slice orange
1.5 ounces bourbon
.5 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce Cranberry-Orange Simple Syrup
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 cup ice cubes

Steps:

  • Make the simple syrup:
  • Combine the first five ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cranberries break down, about 15 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, pushing down on the cranberry pulp. Discard the solids. Cool the syrup to room temperature. (The simple syrup may be stored in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to one month.)
  • Make the cocktail:
  • Combine 3-4 cranberries, 3-4 mint leaves, lime and orange slice in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add the bourbon and Cointreau, and then add the remaining ingredients. (Ice is approximate to fill half of shaker.) Shake vigorously and pour into a tall glass or strain into a rocks glass. Serve with whole fresh or frozen cranberries, lime wedges and mint sprigs.

I'm not usually a fan of bourbon, but this cocktail changed my mind. The sweetness of the cranberry and citrus balances out the smokiness of the bourbon perfectly.
