Howard Johnson's Holiday Ginn

[Kurt]

This is one of those drinks that makes you think, "Yes, this is delightful, and I'll enjoy drinking a couple of these." And then you wake up under a bus tire, later on.

Howard Johnson's Holiday Ginn

2 ounces Gin
1 ounce triple sec
3 drops angostura bitters
2 shakes powdered cinnamon
3 ounces Martinelli's Cranberry Flavored Sparkling Cider
Ice

Combine ingredients in a shaker half full of ice. Swirl to mix. Pour into highball glass and garnish with fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks.

One of these really does have a Christmas-y, holiday-whatever sort of flavor that's very festive. But we're racking up stories that involve these things, and then sleeping on the bathroom floor, etc. GREAT fun to offer to the unsuspecting!
