Skip the canned cranberry sauce this year and instead opt for this cranberry orange martini during your Thanksgiving celebration. Made with London dry gin, Cointreau and cranberry juice it's easy to mix up while you're cooking the big meal. Plus, it might make spending time with the in-laws just a little bit easier. And if it doesn't, pour yourself another drink.
