A warming and festive drink to add to your holiday menu.
The texts and Facebook messages begin in the days leading up to Thanksgiving and don't let up until New Year's has passed. They come from my sister-in-law, from long-lost high school buddies, from my mother-in-law's best friend. They all say basically the same thing: "I'm responsible for holiday cocktails. I hear you can help.
When I started collecting recipes for my first book, I knew that I wanted to include some drinks that could answer those texts, and generally solve the problem of how to make fancy cocktails when you've got a million other things to do as a host.
This pitcher cocktail, created by Dee Ann Quinones for the holiday menu at the now-closed Grace Gaelic Hospitality in New York, relies on a few of those tricks. Up to a week in advance, you'll make a simple, tangy mixer with unsweetened cranberry juice, sugar, champagne vinegar, and cinnamon sticks. It keeps in the fridge and is quite tasty on its own with seltzer.
When you're preparing for a party, just combine the refrigerated cranberry combination with twice as much rye whiskey in a pitcher, and stir. If you have the fridge space, you can refrigerate the pitcher, covered, early in the day; if you don't, pour the two items together at the last minute and stir well. When your guests arrive, put one person in charge of the ice-crushing.
