Notes

Pro Tips

  • To make cranberry-infused bourbon, soak cranberries in bourbon for at least 24 hours. This adds a subtle tartness and deepens the flavor.
  • Express the orange zest over the glass before adding it to release its oils, giving the cocktail a brighter citrus aroma.
  • Adjust the amount of simple syrup to suit your taste, depending on the tartness of the cranberries.
