Dr. BBQ has long been a contributor to Fiery Foods & Barbecue Central. Not only has he given us tons of barbecue and grilling recipes over the years, he’s also given us his share of drinks, like this spicy cranberry cocktail.

This recipe is from Dr. BBQ, Ray Lampe, who says “why serve cranberries in a jelly when you can just drink them?” This is the perfect starter for a holiday dinner, and if your significant other isn’t looking, add some vodka to this creation. This recipe is from Ray’s book, Dr. BBQ’s Barbecue All Year Long! cookbook.
