Cranberry Martini
This cranberry martini recipe stands out for two reasons: one being cranberry infused vodka, the other being cranberry horseradish.
I love cranberries. So much so that I would eat a cranberry muffin before I ate a muffin with chocolate in it, which is mind boggling if you knew me.
But what really makes me love this cranberry cocktail is that it has cranberry horseradish from the Silver Spring in it. O . . . M . . . G. It has been my most loved horseradish and sometimes I eat it with a spoon.
It’s deliciously tart and so creamy that it’s the perfect pairing for this cocktail.

Helpful tips
- I buy bags of cranberries around the holidays and freeze them, so I can make things like muffins and cranberry vodka. If it’s off season, you can buy cranberry vodka from a store, but homemade is so much better, even if the cranberries were frozen.
- You can get cranberry horseradish from the Silver Spring website. If you like cranberries, you won’t regret it.
- For garnish, take two martini picks and place 3 to 4 frozen cranberries on each one.
- Horseradish has a tendency to sink to the bottom of the cocktail glass. Just use a stirrer to mix it around. I usually use my garnish and martini pick as a stirrer.
