Smoked Cranberry Bourbon Fizz

Tart cranberry, bourbon and fresh citrus come together in this festive fall cocktail. Fresh cranberries are infused with apple wood smoke on the Gravity Series Charcoal Grill + Smoker, adding a subtle smoky depth before the cocktail is finished with sparkling water and fresh rosemary.

Instructions

1. 01

   Prepare the Gravity Series Grill + Smoker: Set your Gravity Series Charcoal Grill + Smoker to 225°F and allow it to come to temperature. Place the apple wood chunks in a small grill-able tray and place on your Gravity Series Charcoal Grill.

2. 02

   Smoke the Cranberries: Spread the fresh cranberries in a single layer in a small grill-safe pan or tray. Place the pan on the cooking grate, close the lid and smoke for 15–20 minutes, until the cranberries are warmed through and lightly infused with smoke. Remove from the grill and let cool completely.

3. 03

   Build the Cocktails: Add the bourbon, cranberry juice, lemon juice and maple syrup to a pitcher filled with ice. Stir until chilled and well combined.

4. 04

   Serve: Fill four rocks or Collins glasses with ice. Divide the cocktail evenly between the glasses and top each with 1–2 oz of sparkling water. Garnish each cocktail with smoked cranberries, a fresh rosemary sprig and an orange peel. Masterbuilt Tip: Lightly clap the rosemary sprig between your hands before garnishing to release its aroma and add another layer of flavor to the cocktail.
