Drink

Impromptu mini-party at my place last night. We were thinking of trying to recreate a drink from Siam Society, the Midnight in the Garden (fresh blueberries pureed with vodka & a splash of fresh squeezed lime juice served on the rocks, according to their web site). But, realizing that blueberries aren't in season, we opted for cranberries instead. Since these little red beauties are a bit more tart than their blue siblings, we needed to tweak the rest of the ingredients a little...

Here's the recipe we came up with...

• 1.5 oz vodka (we used Ciroc)
• .5 oz Cointreau
• .5 oz fresh lime juice
• .5 oz simple syrup
• 1 heaping tablespoon pureed cranberries (fresh cranberries and a little water)
  
• .5 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• Put all ingredients in shaker with a generous amount of ice, shake well, and pour into a cocktail shell

Yep, that's it. Super easy and super tasty.
