Cranberry Orange Sour

After running around all day to make your Thanksgiving Day perfect, you'd need one of these. Just cook down fresh cranberries with a hint of amaretto or brandy and cut it with sparkling water. Most of alcohol will be cooked off. Add vodka or gin for more kick!

Cranberry Orange Sour

1 cup cranberries
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp apricot jam or marmalade
1 piece, thinly sliced ginger
2 Tbsp amaretto di saronno or brandy
A splash of vodka or gin
Elderflower syrup to taste, optional
A few ice cubes
Sparkling water to top off 

In a sauce pan, add cranberries, apricot jam, orange juice and water and cook until the mixture gets syrupy. Add amaretto or brandy and cook for another few minutes. Cool. In a tall glass, add about 1 Tbsp of the cranberry mixture, ice cubes, a splash of vodka, elderflower syrup and top off with sparkling water. Stir and serve.

My favorite jam. Smells so good.

Cook until syrupy.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
