Cocktail of the Week: Cranberry Daiquiri

You've had a day of turkey, family and football. How about one more taste of cranberries? But in a cocktail. Saw this on CNBC today courtesy of Gramercy Tavern. Looks tasty to me...

Cranberry Daiquiri

For one drink, shake in a cocktail shaker with ice:
2 oz. dark rum
1 oz. cranberry syrup*
1 oz. fresh lime juice

Serve up, garnished w/ small spoonful of the cranberries

To make cranberry syrup and garnish:

Heat 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to form clear syrup. Add zest of 1 orange and 2 cinnamon sticks and bring to boil. Add 1 cup fresh cranberries and cook just until they start to pop.

Remove from heat & add 1 ½ cup white rum.

Quickly chill down cranberries and syrup in an ice bath.
