Cranberry Bourbon Cocktail
Stir up this cranberry bourbon cocktail with just 3 ingredients. It’s ideal for holiday parties, happy hour, or guys night.
Here’s a simple drink recipe that’s perfect for a Christmas cocktail party, Thanksgiving, or even game day parties. It’s basically a bourbon-and-ginger with a cranberry twist, and it’s quite tasty!
Why You’ll Love It
- If you like bourbon and ginger ale I think you’ll love this drink! It takes that combo a step further with the addition of cranberry juice. The cranberry adds a tartness that helps cut the sweetness.
- This drink is super simple to make and tastes great with salty snacks making it perfect for happy hour.
- If you’re hosting a guys night or celebrating your man’s birthday, this would make a terrific signature cocktail for the night.
3 Ingredients
- Bourbon
- Cranberry juice
- Ginger Ale
Use frozen whole cranberries to garnish your drink and to help keep it chilled without diluting it. Use a bag of fresh cranberries you find in the product section rather than buying them in the freezer section.
