My Nantucket Red
Came up with this cocktail hour offering – attempting to match the color newly acquired Nantucket Reds® from Murray’s. Later this weekend I’ll put the kit on a model it all for ya!
The Nantucket Red
Here are the mixology instructions:
In a shaker half filled with ice
2 oz of your favorite vodka
2 oz of cranberry-pomegranate juice
1 oz of orange juice (not from concentrate)
Squeeze of a wedge of lime
Shake and pour into a nice crystal beverage glass or martini glass
Note: This beverage is nice but a tad tart – some folks probably like it that way. You might consider adding ½ oz. of simple syrup to take the bite off.
Simple Syrup
2 cups of water
2 cups of sugar
Heat to a boil and all sugar granules are dissolved and then let it cool. Keeps in the refrigerator forever.
Putting it together
Needs more vodka.
So do I.

Not too much!
Use the smoothest vodka you’re wallet will allow.

I think its actually better with the half shot of simple syrup. Go make yourself one!

Looks really cool, it got pom so I think it’s really worth a try. 😉 Though I think cranberry-pomegranate juice is sweet enough, I’d probably skip the simple syrup. Anyway, really cool drink you got here, thanks for sharing. 🙂

That’s a very ingenious idea. My pants usually match my drink AFTER a night of carousing… But, STARTING OUT coordinated never ocurred to me… You’re a pretty smart fella. Your blog has some beautiful photography. Saludos. Gringo Jack.
