On the Rocks: Autumn Cocktail.
An autumn cocktail worthy enough to be called the Autumn Cocktail.
Ingredients:
– 2 oz Imported GranGala Triple Orange Liqueur
– 1 oz Flor de Cana Rum
– 1 oz Cranberry Syrup*
– 2 Pieces of Fresh Ruby Red Grapefruit (peel, no skin or white)
– Dash of Orange Bitters
– Drunken cranberries**
In a Boston glass add grapefruit and cranberry syrup. Muddle, add 1 ice scoop then GranGala, rum and bitters. Shake well and pour into a young wine glass. Garnish with drunken cranberries.
* To make the Cranberry Syrup you need 2 cups sugar, 1 cup water and 2 cups of cranberries (rinsed and de-stemmed). Add ingredients to a saucepan, adjust heat to medium-high. Allow to boil and then reduce to a simmer. The mixture is ready once the sugar has dissolved, the syrup is slightly thickened and has taken on the color and aroma of the berries, this should take about 5 minutes.
** To make the Drunken Cranberries you need 2 cups sugar, 1 cup dark rum, 1 cup fresh cranberries (rinsed and de-stemmed). Follow Cranberry Syrup directions, and pull out the cranberries and use for the garnish.
