"Love bourbon at the holidays? When I'm entertaining in fall and winter, I often tend towards whiskey. This spirit is great for the holidays because its warm, sweet notes of caramel and vanilla are cozy and pair well with winter flavors like cranberry, pomegranate, and apple. As a cocktail expert, I've reviewed my list of cocktail recipes to find all my favorite bourbon Christmas cocktails for the season! From spiked hot chocolate to hot toddys"
"1 ½ ounces* bourbon whiskey 1 ounce sweet red vermouth 2 ounces orange juice 1 ounce 100% unsweetened cranberry juice** Ice, for serving (try clear ice!) For the garnish: fresh or frozen cranberries, rosemary sprigs Place the bourbon, sweet vermouth, orange juice, unsweetened cranberry juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice and shake until cold. Strain the drink into an ice-filled lowball glass. If desired, garnish with fresh or frozen cranberries and rosemary sprigs."
Bourbon's warm, sweet caramel and vanilla notes complement winter flavors such as cranberry, pomegranate, and apple. Holiday cocktail ideas include spiked hot chocolate, hot toddies, and signature drinks that showcase seasonal fruits and spices. The cranberry bourbon cocktail combines bourbon, sweet vermouth, orange juice, unsweetened cranberry juice, and simple syrup, shaken with ice and strained into an ice-filled lowball glass, garnished with cranberries and rosemary. A pitcher variation scales ingredients for eight servings. Notes include a conversion (1 ounce = 2 tablespoons) and advice to omit or adjust simple syrup if sweetened cranberry juice is used.
