Cranberry Sauce - Must be 21 or older to Enjoy!!!

Everyone makes Cranberry Sauce or buys the can version (yuck!!!). We have the traditional cranberry sauce recipe but why be traditional..... that's what everyone does. It's so much fun to come up with something unexpected. This Cranberry Sauce is not for the kids, you must be 21 or older!!! This is the perfect recipe for Fiends-giving or any cocktail holiday party to serve a little something with a twist.

Several years ago we had some friends drop in (unexpected) and everyone wanted a drink . . . of course!! HaHa. It was right after Thanksgiving and we only had vodka and some beer to serve and no mixers. So, what do you do????? Well, you can always mix some Cranberry sauce with Vodka pour it into a martini glass and enjoy. It was actually really good. And we didn't have to serve any dessert!! That's how we came up with this new way to make Cranberry Sauce. Or fancy jello shots... whatever you want to call it.

The Test Kitchen Was Open!

HaHa yeah, we had to open our "test kitchen" to come up with the new recipe! RIGHT!!!! We decided an Adult Cranberry Sauce was needed in this world. The first recipe we came up with had plain vodka. It was good but needed a little punch of flavor. That's when we bought the Clementine Vodka!!! Then we decided to add those yummy little tangerines. Yes, we had to make several versions of this recipe until we came up with perfection! It is great as a dessert or add additional vodka and pour it into a martini glass, before you know it, you have a fun holiday Martini!

Cranberry Sauce Twist

To make this Cranberry Sauce aaaaammmmaaaaazing we added two different flavors of Jello. We tried this with just Strawberry and orange vodka and it was really good. We later decided that to really enhance the orange flavor we need to mix together orange and strawberry jello.

So the trick is to replace some water with Orange Vodka. I prefer Clementine Vodka for its sweet distinct flavor.

Cranberry Sauce - You must be 21 to Enjoy!!!

Cranberry Sauce for Adults. The addition of orange-flavored Vodka makes this a fun dessert or a great base for a holiday Martini!
