Matt’s Moonshine Twist Cocktail

Jersey Shine is a family tradition, so it only seemed fitting to share my “research” with my dad, Matt Sullivan. The result is a cocktail we created together, perfect to share with your favorite people while milling about the kitchen before dinner.

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ ounces Cranberry Jersey Shine
  • ½ ounce King’s Ginger
  • 2 ounces ginger ale
  • Orange twist

Instructions
 

  • Run the peel side of the orange twist along the rim of an iced glass. Shake liquors with ice and strain into glass. Top with ginger ale and add the orange twist.
