I just learned on the Food Network that only male turkeys gobble, females make a ‘clicking’ noise (no comment from the Madtini Labs crew on that one). Other facts I discovered were: domesticated turkeys have approximately 3,500 feathers and have been bred to be white so that when plucked the feathers leave no discernible mark.

Ingredients

• 2 oz cranberry-infused vodka
• 3/4 oz chambord
• 1 oz cranberry juice
• 1 oz lemon juice

Preparation
Combine vodka, Chambord, lemon juice and cranberry juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake, then strain into the chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a skewer of fresh cranberries.
