Cranberry Cooler

The CRANBERRY COOLER is a cranberry juice cocktail for whiskey lovers. Either bourbon or Canadian blended whiskey can be used. Some recipes call for equal parts Canadian whiskey and cranberry juice. The bourbon mix expands the whiskey proportion. My preferred recipe is the bourbon version below:

Requirements: bourbon, cranberry juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, lemon peel or cranberry garnish (optional)

• 2.25 oz. bourbon
• 1.5 oz. cranberry juice
• .5 oz. lemon juice
• .5 oz. simple syrup

Add ingredients to an ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously and pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon peel or a couple of cranberries (optional).

Comments: This is a tasty and festive red-colored holiday cocktail for the whiskey fan. The combo of whiskey and cranberry juice works well in this mix. It’s ingredients are much the same as the Rhett Butler cocktail, but in different proportions. Also, the Cranberry Cooler can be served as a frozen cocktail by adding one cup of ice to a blender and blending it’s ingredients until smooth, then pouring it into a chilled cocktail glass.
