Cranberry loves citrus, and this simple bubbly cocktail by Mark Raymond marries the two perfectly.
Recipes
Champagne Cocktail
The Champagne Cocktail is sleek, simple, and elegant. You’ve got that sugar cube in there, slowly dissolving, releasing a stream of bubbles and sweetness into the drink. This is a drink that comes with its own built-in fireworks.
Moscow Mule
The Moscow Mule is all about the ginger beer, so use a pungent brand with a lot of kick in this classic cocktail. The drink is called a mule, after all.
Robert Simonson’s Fair Harvard Cocktail
We love a cocktail with a good story. And this one happens to have a Connecticut tie-in. Robert Simonson created this recipe in 2016 for a cocktail reception that followed a lecture at the Yale School of Architecture, at the request of that school’s dean, architect Deborah Berke.
Lidia Bastianich’s Polenta Torta with Gorgonzola and Savoy Cabbage
Lidia Bastianich's polenta torta is delicious with Gorgonzola and cabbage, but you can vary the filling however you wish. The dish is ideal for a crowd. You can assemble the tart the day before and then bake it the day of your gathering, and it also reheats well.
Lidia Bastianich’s Almond Torte with Chocolate Chips
This almond cake is delicious as is, but can also be served with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar, whipped cream, or zabaglione. It’s great for breakfast or brunch, as well as dessert.
