Infuse your Thanksgiving with a little extra fun (and a ‘lotta extra Tito’s).
It’s the time of the year when friends and family, new and old, gather around to feast on tasty treats and toast to good fortune with a Tito’s cocktail or two. Celebrate the Tito’s Handmade Vodka way and find some common ground by filling the table with dishes and cocktails that everyone* can enjoy—carnivores and vegans, alike!
(*everyone of legal drinking age, that is…)
Think tangy Spiked Cranberry Sauce paired with a Cran-Orange Infusion, or a Buzzy Kale Salad with a Harvest Punch—just to name a few. Even the side dishes are spiked with Tito’s because that’s how we like to cook around here.
Take a look at our Tito’s-infused recipes below for some creativity in the kitchen. Cheers!
Cran-Orange Infusion
Tart and tangy, our Cran-Orange Infusion is perfect for the holiday season. We suggest mixing it into a punch, or enjoying on the rocks!
Ingredients
-
1 750 ml bottle Tito's Handmade Vodka
Buy It!
1 cup frozen cranberries
2 whole orange peels
Directions
Boil the frozen cranberries for about 5 minutes or until they pop and let cool before adding to your Tito’s along with the orange peel.
Let sit for two weeks before straining out fruit.
Pro-Tip: Be careful to avoid the white pith of the orange as that can make your infusion bitter.
Spiked Cranberry Sauce
Spiked with Tito's Handmade Vodka, you'll want a few extra spoonfuls of this cranberry sauce. This side serves up to 4 people.
Ingredients
1 (12-oz) bag fresh cranberries, rinsed, drained, and picked through
1 cup sugar or coconut sugar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup Tito’s Handmade Vodka
Directions
In medium saucepan over moderate heat, bring cranberries, sugar, and 1/2 cup water to a boil, stirring often to dissolve sugar.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until sauce has thickened and reduced to about 3 cups. About 15 minutes.
Transfer sauce to another bowl and stir in Tito’s. Let cool, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Harvest Punch
A versatile punch that incorporates all your favorite fall flavors, our Harvest Punch is always a success. With sweet apple cider, effervescent ginger beer, and bubbly prosecco, you'll want more than one glass.
