SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER

Santa's Little Helper Holiday Cocktail

Here’s a concoction I came up with to add something bright to the holiday cocktail rotation. I wanted to feature gin with some citrus but also incorporate flavors of the season like cranberry and ginger.  Alas, what is referred to as Santa’s Little Helper when the season rolls around in our “Christmas Chalet”!

Recipe

2 oz Gin

3/4 oz Lime juice

3/4 oz Ginger Syrup

2 tsp cranberry sauce

2-3 Dashes orange bitters

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker.  Fill the shaker two-thirds full with ice and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled, 15 seconds.  Strain into rocks glass over large ice cube.
