This colorful cordial gets its spicy punch from a combination of vodka, Cointreau, cranberry and allspice dram, a liquor made from allspice berries. It’s easy and much more economical to make your own allspice dram, as well as more convenient, since, unlike Rudolph’s nose, it can be difficult to find.

1.5 oz vodka
1 oz Cointreau (or other orange-flavored liquor)
1.5 oz cranberry juice
1 teaspoon allspice dram (follow link to recipe)

Combine all ingredients in shaker with ice; shake 1 minute. Strain and serve in a tall glass topped with soda.
