Sherried Cranberry Smash
Serves 1
This modern spin on a smash (a classic cocktail typically made with fruit, herbs, sugar and whiskey) is prepared with a double dose of cranberry, in the form of a vibrant cranberry syrup and cranberry juice, plus amontillado sherry. The rich, nutty flavor of dry sherry is a perfect contrast for the bright cranberry flavor, but you can use vodka or single-batch bourbon for this ruby-hued drink.
