Canned Cocktails: Holiday Edition
Put some extra cheer in your season with Canned Oregon and enjoy Chef Becca's holiday play on these canned wine cocktails.
Blue Christmas
INGREDIENTS
1 oz pear vodka
½ oz apple juice
1/16 tsp of silver luster dust
¼ oz lemon juice
Drizzle of truffle honey
Canned Oregon White Bubbles
Shaved truffles to garnish
Directions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Mix apple juice and luster dust together, and pour into the shaker. Add the pear vodka, lemon juice, and truffle honey; shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. Strain into a champagne flute. Top with Canned Oregon White Bubbles and shaved truffles.
Under the Mistletoe
INGREDIENTS
5 Allspice berries
1 tsp pink peppercorns
2 Cinnamon sticks (plus one more for garnish)
Fresh ginger, sliced into 1 inch pieces
¼ cup St. Germaine
3 cans of Canned Oregon still Rosé
Juice and zest of 1 pink grapefruit (minus a couple slices for garnish)
2 Tbsp sugar (optional if you prefer it a touch sweeter)
Candied ginger for garnish
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and give them a quick stir. Heat until the wine just barely reaches a simmer over medium heat. Avoid letting it bubble — you don’t want to boil off the alcohol. Reduce heat to low, for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours. Strain and season. Taste, and stir in your desired amount of extra sweetener, if needed. Serve warm in a mug, top with a grapefruit garnish.
Christmas in PDX
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Bourbon
1 oz lemon juice
½ oz maple syrup
Canned Oregon Pinot Noir
Lemon twist to garnish
Directions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the bourbon, lemon juice, and syrup; shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. Strain into a glass. Hold the back of a spoon above the rim of the glass and gently pour the pinot noir on top of the spoon and into the glass, creating a layer on top!
