Thanksgiving Batida
November 22nd, 2007 by michael
I don’t really do Thanksgiving, but I do appreciate an opportunity to turn one of the many random dishes gracing tables across America into a cocktail, and I’m not talking about anything pumpkin-flavored. So with a nod to Brazil, and my mother, who came up with the cranberry idea, I present the Thanksgiving Batida:
Directions:
- Take an amount of your Thanksgiving cranberry compote - using real, whole cranberries, nothing from a can - and blend it with a little cold water until it turns nice and smooth.
- Shake over ice: 2 1/2 jiggers cranberry, 1 1/2 jiggers cachaça, and 1/2 jigger simple syrup.
- Strain into glass with ice using fine strainer to catch the bits of cranberry detritus. A tea strainer should work fine.
- Drink.
