We had this two ways - see the notes below the short video.
So we tried this two ways.
First as per the recipe in the video but using the Ocean Spray style "cranberry juice cocktail" option which is only 27% pure cranberry juice and already has sugar added, instead of adding the sugar syrup in the recipe
And then on Thanksgiving we used Lakewood Pure cranberry (100% cranberries) but did NOT add simple syrup. We did shake it, but it would be fine simply poured over ice in a glass and then stirred.
2 oz. Tropicana orange Juice
1 oz. Lakewood Organic Pure Cranberry
1 oz. Dolin's red vermouth
1& 1/2 oz. Jim Beam bourbon
Brigid was happy either way; I preferred the slightly tarter version with pure cranberry and no added sugar.
Be careful drinking this - the alcohol is not "up front".
Here's a picture from the first version.
