Winter Bourbon Smash (Half Gallon Pitcher)

Small jar (8-ounces) of preserves or jam my favorite is blackberry or cranberry orange.

(Recipe for Quick Cranberry Orange Jam: 1 can orange juice concentrate, 1 can cranberry sauce and ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons water and 1 small box orange gelatin.

Dissolve sugar in water, add orange juice and cranberry sauce stirring until mixed well, add in gelatin mixing well. Let sit until set. Makes approximately 24 ounces.)

Pint of good bourbon.

Half pint of triple sec.

1 cup of orange juice.

Fill up with lemon-lime soda, ginger ale or club soda.

Serve over ice with orange segments for garnish if desired.

Mix ingredients well and chill, still well just before serving as jam tends to settle on the bottom. Makes 8-8 ounce glasses.
