 Hilton

Put away the can opener and forget about that whole “jelly or whole berry” debate. Unlike the plate-staining side dish, this Cosmo variant at Bridges at New York Hilton Midtown has a boozy kick. Grapefruit vodka mimics the citrus peel that gives popping, simmering berries bright citrus, and a rosemary sprig adds a whiff of herbaceousness.

This recipe originally appeared as part of “The Right Drink. For Every Bit of the Thanksgiving Meal.”

Ingredients

  • 1 lime wedge
  • 1 losemary sprig
  • 1 ounce honey
  • 1 3/4 ounces Absolut Ruby Red vodka
  • 1 1/4 ounces cranberry juice
  • Garnish: rosemary sprig

Steps

  1. Muddle the lime wedge, rosemary sprig and honey in a shaker.

  2. Add the vodka, cranberry juice and ice, and shake until well-chilled.

  3. Strain into a cocktail glass.

  4. Garnish with a rosemary sprig.
