For a fresh take on a classic 75 cocktail, substitute a bright and festive Cranberry Tangerine syrup instead of a standard simple syrup. You can shake up this drink throughout the seasons by substituting different berries and citrus.
1 oz Wheyward Spirit
1/2 oz fresh lemon
1/2 oz Spiced Cranberry Tangerine Syrup
3 oz champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
Add Wheyward Spirit, juice, and syrup into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a champagne glass, top with champagne. Garnish with a cranberry and long zest of tangerine.
Spiced Cranberry Tangerine Syrup
Makes about 17 ounces
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 Tbsp. finely grated orange zest
1 Tbsp. finely minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup tangerine juice
2 cup sugar
Place ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer for 1 minute then turn off heat. Let steep for 30 minutes. Then strain through a fine mesh strainer – pressing out the cranberries. Bottle and store refrigerated for up to 14 days.
