Moscow Turkey Recipes

MOSCOW TURKEY

Steps:

• Put a handful of cranberries in a small bowl and cover with some Simple Syrup. Let soak until slightly softened, about 1 hour. Chill a copper mule glass.
• Put the vodka, orange juice, cranberry juice and 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with large ice cubes. Shake vigorously and reopen. Add the ginger beer and tumble-roll back and forth one time to mix in the ginger beer. Strain into the chilled copper mule glass. Garnish with 3 cranberries and serve.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

THANKSGIVING MULES

Steps:

• Put the dried cranberries in a small bowl and add enough simple syrup to cover. Let soak until slightly softened, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, chill 4 copper mule mugs in the freezer.
• For each drink, combine 1 1/2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce each orange juice and cranberry juice and 1/2 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with large ice cubes and shake vigorously. Add 1 ounce ginger beer, seal the shaker again and gently twist the shaker back and forth once (this will combine the drink without making the ginger beer go flat). Strain into a chilled copper mule mug and fill with fresh ice. Garnish with a few of the soaked cranberries.
