Spanish Cranberry Sparkling Martini Recipes

CRANBERRY MARTINI

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and serve in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with fresh cranberries skewered on a cocktail skewer.

CRANBERRY MARTINIS

Steps:

• Several days ahead, place the sugar, cranberries, 6 strips of orange zest, and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, until the cranberries start to pop open. Pour the vodka into a large pitcher, add the cranberry mixture, and store covered in the refrigerator for at least 2 days and up to 5 days.
• When ready to serve, strain the vodka mixture, reserving the cranberries and discarding the orange zest. Stir in the cranberry juice cocktail and Triple Sec. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the drink mixture, shake for a full 30 seconds (it's longer than you think!), and strain into martini glasses. Rub the rim of each glass with fresh orange zest, spoon a few cranberries into each glass, and serve ice cold.

SPARKLING CRANBERRY COCKTAIL

• Slice 12 cranberries in half.
• Spoon 2 tbsp crushed ice into martini glasses or champagne flutes. Place a few cranberries on top.
• Pour in juice mixture.
• Slice 1/2 lime into 4 wedges. First squeeze juice from each wedge into the cocktail. Then drop in lime for garnish.
