Whiskey Cranberry Cocktail
I enjoy a drink once in a while and my whiskey cranberry cocktail is definitely a favorite. I love this drink because the woody and smooth notes of bourbon and the sweetness from the cranberry juice and maple syrup are the perfect combo. This cocktail is such a treat!
All about my Whiskey Cranberry Cocktail
Although my whiskey cranberry cocktail looks fancy and elegant, the preparation is a breeze. First combine the maple syrup, cranberry juice and bitters (I recommend orange) in a rocks glass. Then add a large ice cube into the glass, pour the bourbon over the ice and garnish with some orange peel. Voila!
Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice is a great addition to any drink! In addition to the whisky cranberry cocktail, you can add cranberry juice to seltzer (add in some lime too!) for a spritzer, add to hot tea, or to other boozy drinks like mulled wine, or sangria. The options are endless.
Health Benefits
Cranberry juice also offers health benefits. Cranberry juice is full of antioxidants that have been shown to help reduce oxidation throughout the body, aid in heart health, and protect our immunity. In addition, 8 ounces of cranberry juice meets 100% of our recommended dietary intake of vitamin C! More reasons to include 100% cranberry juice in your favorite drinks.
