Flavor of the Month: Cranberry-Infused Moonshine
November 2nd, 2011A cocktail that both looks and tastes good. We especially love that you can refrigerate it for 2 months so make a big batch now and store for later!
Serves 3
{ Ingredients }
1 Cup Fresh Cranberries
1/4 Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Water
1 (750-milliliter) Bottle Moonshine
2 (2- x 1-inch) Orange Rind Strips – Garnish
Directions
Cook cranberries, sugar & water in a saucepan over medium heat 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves, liquid begins to turn a light pink color & cranberries just begin to pop. Let cool slightly (about 10 minutes). Pour mixture into a large glass jar; stir in moonshine & orange rind strips. Let stand at room temperature 3 days. Pour through a fine-wire mesh strainer into a bowl; discard solids. Return moonshine mixture to jar. Store in refrigerator up to 2 months.
Enjoy!
