Method: Build the cocktail over ice in a shaker. Shake (smile and have fun)! Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with sugared cranberries.

“When developing the Spiced Bog martini, we looked local and started playing around with the Rhodium RI Red, a cranberry and cherry vodka from our friends at Rhode Island Spirits just up the street in Pawtucket,” said Bartender Marissa Bernal. “We accented it with rosemary simple syrup to give the flavors a little lift, and then we added St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur because it is mulled liquid gold. The result is a delicious cocktail featuring a local distiller for guests to enjoy through the cooler months.”
