What is Cranberry Bourbon?
The Cranberry Bourbon cocktail is a smooth yet vibrant blend of bourbon whiskey, sweet red vermouth, orange juice, and cranberry juice. This drink walks the perfect line between rich and refreshing, delivering warm oak and vanilla notes from the bourbon, layered with tart cranberry and bright citrus. It’s an easy win for fall gatherings, holiday cocktails, or anytime you want something that feels elevated without being complicated.
If you enjoy spirit-forward classics like an Old Fashioned or seasonal favorites such as a Whiskey Sour with a twist, this cocktail brings a refreshing contrast. It’s also a great companion to cozy nights or elegant dinners. If you’re exploring bourbon-based cocktails, you might also love our Rum Old Fashioned for a deeper, spiced profile.
