Liquor Bowl: Part 2 - The Cranberry Almond Kicker

The Cranberry Almond Kicker



Drink Type: Cocktail


Ingredients: 
1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 cup vodka
1/4 cup amaretto
2 tablespoons orange juice
Clementines (optional; peeled and sliced) 
 
Instructions:
In a pitcher, mix the two juices, vodka and amaretto.  Cover pitcher, and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.  Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in about one cup of the mixture. Cover and shake.  Strain into a martini glass. Optionally garnish with a clementine slice.

Description:
Popular among New England Patriot fans, this cocktail boasts a very distinctive flavor.  Sweet almonds are attributed to the amaretto, and when synthesized with the piercing taste of cranberry and orange juice, the result is a cocktail which encompasses flavors throughout the entire spectrum.
