Cranberry Cinnamon Cocktail recipe

Enjoy this cranberry cinnamon cocktail while sitting by the fire on a cool night. It’s the perfect sipping drink that’s not too boozy.

Cheers to the weekend friends! Today I’m sharing a delicious cocktail recipe that’s less boozy than most, but absolutely full of flavor. It’s the perfect drink for sipping on a cool night outside by the fire pit, which is exactly what we did. I’ve partnered with Duraflame^®this season, to bring you cozy ideas for entertaining!

This is (un)officially the year without a winter, here in central Virginia. We’ve had more spring/fall-like weather than anything else, which has given us some opportunities to grill out, or sit around the fire pit with friends on a Friday night. We recently did both, and I created this tasty cranberry cinnamon cocktail to sip on.

This recipe combines the tartness of cranberry with the sweetness of pineapple, and finishes with a refreshing cinnamon burst…sort of like a Red Hot candy. It’s light and refreshing, and makes a great nightcap. Get the recipe below.

Cranberry Cinnamon Cocktail recipe

1/2 cup cranberry juice

1/4 cup pinapple juice

3/4 ounce cinnamon schnapps {I really like Dekuyper Hot Damn! for this}

Over ice, combine all three ingredients and garnish with frozen cranberries.

As I mentioned above, I’ve teamed up with Duraflame this season and I’m so excited about bringing you content centered around a roaring fire! We’ve used their fire logs for years {we used to have a fire place in our old apartment} and now I’m thrilled that we have a patio and fire pit to use them in.

For this particular evening we used duraflame^® stax^® Stackable Crackling Firelogs. They add warmth, a cozy ambiance, and that crackling wood sound we love. Some of my own personal reasons for loving Duraflame fire logs are:

How convenient they are to use. No worries that our split wood pile is too wet to burn.
How fast and easy they are to use. Just stack 2 or 3 logs, light the wrapper, and enjoy the roaring fire.
More comfortable – they don’t engulf you with smoke, or overwhelm you with the smell {that burnt wood smell that gets in your clothes is my least favorite part of building a wood fire}.
They’re environmentally friendly.

Nothing beats a fireside evening with friends, and a cocktail in hand. Cheers to many more nights like these!
