Thanksgiving is just around the corner and DELEÓN Tequila has just the cocktail to share with friends and family on this special day – the Spiked Cranberry Brew. Made with the holiday’s signature fruit, cranberries, brewed with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, this cocktail is sure to warm the soul with all the comforting flavors of the season. The star of the cocktail is DELEÓN Tequila — un-aged and unrivaled in finish and made from 100% Highland agave that is slow-fermented and twice-distilled.

Spiked Cranberry Brew

In the early 1800’s, a classic concoction known as the Hot Toddy was created as a way to cure ailments and sickness. DeLeón’s Spiked Cranberry Brew is a modern version of this “medicine,” turned upside-down with a sophisticated brew of hot, tart cranberry juice, fresh lemon, and peeled pear – all spiced to perfection with cinnamon and nutmeg. DeLeón Platinum complements this blend of warm spice, with accents of vanilla bouncing off the tart cranberry flavors on the finish, making it an ideal “cure” to any cold winter’s day.

Recipe:

– 1 ½ oz. DeLeón Platinum Tequila

– 6 oz. hot cranberry batch (1 part fresh unsweetened cranberry juice, ¾ part fresh lemon juice, ¾ part simple syrup, cinnamon clove and nutmeg to taste)

Simmer together ingredients for hot cranberry batch. Combine hot cranberry batch with DeLeón Platinum Tequila in glass mug. Garnish with a thin pear slice dusted with cinnamon.
