Cranberry Ginger Fizz Cocktail Food

CRANBERRY GINGER FIZZ COCKTAIL

Steps:

• For the syrup: Puree the cranberries and the cranberry juice in a blender until finely chopped.
• Combine cranberries with all other ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
• Strain the syrup into a bowl using a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to get all the liquid out.
• Let the syrup cool to room temperature and use in drinks or cover tightly and put it in the fridge. The syrup can be stored for up to 5 days.
• For the cocktail: Combine syrup, ginger ale, and vodka in a large pitcher and stir to combine.
• Mix together cinnamon sugar in a small bowl. Spread some of it out onto a plate, adding more as needed while you work. Wet the rims of 8 glasses and then rub them in the cinnamon sugar to coat the rims. I used a piece of the orange that I had juiced for the syrup, but water works just as well.
• Add ice to the glasses and pour about 6 1/2 oz of the cocktail into each glass.
