Dave Lieberman  - Ginger Cranberry Cocktail (Frozen Vodka or Gin)

For the ginger syrup: Place all syrup ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until sugar dissolves and the ginger is infused in the syrup, about 20 minutes. Strain and allow to cool fully before use.

For the drink: Crush the frozen cranberries in a large glass pitcher. Add the lime juice and their juiced wedges to the pitcher. Pour in the vodka, cranberry juice, and ginger syrup. Put ice in low-ball glasses and fill glasses about 2/3 full. Top off with club soda and garnish with a shaving of fresh ginger.

This is our “go-to” holiday cocktail! The original recipe is delicious, but I have also used frozen raspberries in place of frozen cranberries and raspberry ginger ale instead of club soda! Garnish the rim of the glass with green sugar and you have a very festive beverage! 

Just batched this last night for Thanksgiving today and it's delicious. I used gin, extra ginger, and fresh muddled cranberries. We will be making this one again!

Like this better without the splash of club soda, which made it seem a little watered down. Without the club soda, I could taste the cranberry flavor more. I also used half regular vodka and half orange vodka (just what I had in hand) and I liked the added orange flavor!

This cocktail was a gigantic hit with extended family while making Thanksgiving Dinner!  The only problem I had (and questioned) was muddling frozen cranberries?  Didn't work.  I'm going to try boiling the cranberries in the ginger syrup, which I'm going to make LOTS more of.  This refreshing cocktail was rated "dangerous" by the family, since it does not taste like there is vodka in it...until....  I did freeze the vodka before assembling, also.

EXCELLANT ! I made this twice already, since Thanksgiving!

I made this for my New Years get together just the other day. I was really concerned because it dawned on me that it was just like a cranberry and vodka and that is one drink that I really dislike. I made it anyway, and once you add the lime juice and ginger syrup, all the flavors come together and it is fantastic! everyone loved it!

Had this at a recent party and WOW!  I'm making it for my New Year's get together tonight.  It is a fantastic drink that pleases most!

Everybody LOVES this recipe and it goes in a flash so now I make enough for 5.5 batches for about 40 people.  No one drinks anything else when I serve this.

My guests and I loved this drink.  I fixed it in a pitcher like he did and everyone thought it was so fancy.  This is worth trying. The only problem I ran into was finding frozen cranberries.  I substituted frozen raspberry's and it worked just as well.
