I thought this one would be perfect for New Year’s Eve. The cranberry juice gives it that wintery vibe but the fact that it’s a martini adds a special festiveness that New Year’s is all about.
A little hint, the key to being a good bartender is having the right tools. There’s all sorts of bar kits out there, but I find myself always coming back to two things:
One- A jigger/pony. It's that weird, slightly off hourglass shaped measuring device. The larger side is 1 ½ fluid ounces and is known as a jigger. The smaller side is a pony and is 1 fluid ounce.
And two - A cocktail shaker
Now go get all Tom Cruise-y in Cocktails and start mixing up your own concoctions.
