Winter Drinks With Will: The Bloody Upper Lip Recipe
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
- 1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1 cup toasted walnuts
- London Dry Gin
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cranberries, rosemary, and 2 cups water in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and cook until cranberries are mostly popped, about 10 minutes. Uncover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes longer. Strain through fine mesh strainer, reserving syrup and solids.
- Meanwhile, grind walnuts and remaining tablespoon sugar in food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle until roughly powdered. Transfer to plate.
- For each drink, combine 2 ounces gin, 1 ounce cranberry syrup, and 1/4 cup strained cranberries in ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously. Dip rim of chilled martini glass in water, then into walnut-sugar mixture. Strain drink into glass and serve immediately.
