This Spiced Cranberry Ginger Cocktail 🫚is the perfect drink to bring to Thanksgiving this year! #QPartner 21+ 

This is such an easy and flavorful recipe that’s much more exciting than your average vodka cranberry! We make an easy spiced cranberry simple syrup, then combine it with cranberry juice, orange juice, vodka and our favorite Q GINGER ALE for fizz. 

We like to pair this cocktail with prosciutto wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates! The salty/sweet flavor pairs so well with tart cranberries and spiced ginger ale, and they’re one of the easiest appetizers ever. They only take 10 minutes to assemble and 10 minutes to bake!

’Tis the season of cocktails, which means you’re gonna need some good mixers. We always recommend QMIXERS for premium quality & ingredients, less sugar & max carbonation! Q GINGER ALE is made with real ginger, as well as orange peel, rose oil, cardamom and coriander so it’s packed with nuanced flavor that’s nothing like your average ginger ale!

RECIPE: 

Spiced cranberry syrup:

1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen) 
1 cup water 
1 cup sugar 
1 cinnamon stick
2-3 whole cloves 
1-inch piece of fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp dried) 
Pinch of nutmeg 

Add all ingredients to a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for ~5 minutes, until the cranberries start to burst and the sugar is fully dissolved. 

Mash the cranberries. Let cool for 30 minutes, then strain and use or save for later. Keep stored in the refrigerator. 

Cocktail (makes 1):

1 1/2 oz vodka (this recipe is also great with tequila or bourbon for a different flavor profile!) 
2 oz cranberry juice (we use unsweetened) 
1 oz spiced cranberry syrup 
1 oz orange juice 
2 oz Q GINGER ALE
For garnish (optional): sugared cranberries and sugared rosemary 

Add the vodka, cranberry juice, cranberry syrup and orange juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well, then strain into a glass with ice. Top off with ginger ale and enjoy!
