Cranberry syrup perks up this herbaceous spritz.

Named after the Jack’s love interest in Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sally’s Spritz is a festive addition to any holiday celebration.

Ingredients

1 oz. tequila (blanco or reposado will work)
1 oz. génépy
1 oz. cranberry syrup
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
Sparkling rosé, to top

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:wine
Garnish:rosemary sprig, cinnamon stick, juniper berries

Preparation

Short shake the first 4 ingredients with ice to chill. Strain into a wine glass over fresh ice and top with sparkling rosé. Garnish.

Cranberry Syrup: Boil 1 cup of fresh cranberries in 3 cups of orange juice for 15 minutes, until they pop and release all the flavor. Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary sprigs and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Let it rest for another 10 minutes. Blend the mixture in a blender, then strain. Measure the volume of the liquid and add equal parts vanilla syrup and cinnamon syrup. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
