Satsuma-Cranberry Vodka

By west757

Cooking Light magazine ran an article about the Satsuma orange, a fruit available in the winter. This is the main recipe for making the drink.

When completed, I prefer to mix it with 3/4 cup Cointreau and 1/4 cup Sweet and Sour mix. I don't use the sugar like the recipe indicates.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 cup vodka
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 whole Satsumas
• 3/4 cup Grand Marnier
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine cranberries, vodka, sugar, and satsumas in a food processor. Process until pureed.

Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

Strain mixture through a cheesecloth over a bowl, pressing to extract juice. Discard solids. Stir in Grand Marnier and lime juice.

Place 1 cup of satsuma mixture in a martini shaker with 1/2 C crushed ice & shake. Strain mixture into martini glasses.
