Forget the jellied cranberry sauce…get sauced on Cranberry Orange Jelly Shots this year for Thanksgiving. Your relative will thank you.

It’s American Thanksgiving this Thursday.

So I’m sticking with some classic Thanksgiving pairing of orange and cranberries.

My ode to cranberry sauce if you will.

But these Cranberry Orange Jelly Shots are much more fun than cranberry sauce.

It’s cranberry you can get sauced on. 😛

And if someone brings up politics…these may become necessary. 😛

Super necessary.

Maybe make a double or triple batch.

There are people who like whole berry cranberry sauce.

My mom is a whole berry cranberry person.

Then there are those that like jellied cranberry sauce.

I am a jellied cranberry sauce girl.

So is my dad.

I’ll eat both but reality is I really do want the clump of cranberry that comes out of a can. 🙂

Perhaps nostalgia.

These Jelly Shots use cranberry gelatin.

You can normally find it around this time of year.

If you do stock up on it.

Can’t find it?

There is always the internet for that.

I usually buy mine on Amazon.

Though right now the prices are jacked up due to the holiday. 

You can also just use Orange gelatin in a pinch and replace the water with Cranberry Juice.

Since you can pretty much find both those things year round.

I used an orange cream vodka but you can use just a plain orange vodka.

The liqueur I used is Drillaud …I love all their stuff.

They make a ton of flavors, all excellent.

Feel free to use whatever orange liqueur you want.

Have fun prepping for Thursday!

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook.
