History:

Adapted from a drink created in 2010 by David Steenkamp at Jamie Oliver’s Barbecoa, London, England. Originally also with a dash of crème de mûre (blackberry) liqueur so sweeter and fruitier.

My settings prompted me to use Carpano Antica, for which I nearly cringed when mixing it with Four Roses and all that (organic, unsweetened, pure) cranberry juice. The drink did turn out better than expected. Might just stay in rotation until my neglected cran runs out. The dash of creme de mure sounds nice, but it isn't necessary.
