Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
  • 1 shot bourbon whiskey
  • ½ orange, juiced (about ½ cup juice)
  • ½ cup sparkling water
  • Orange zest and fresh cranberry garnish
Instructions
  1. For each cocktail, add 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce to the bottom of the glass. Add 1 shot of bourbon bourbon and the juice of half an orange to each glass, and stir together. Alternatively, add everything to a cocktail shaker and strain if you don't want the cranberry pulp.
  2. Taste the mixture and add a bit of sugar if the cranberry sauce was tart (I didn't find it necessary since I had a sweet orange as well).
  3. Drop ice cubes into the glass and top the drink with sparkling water to the rim.
  4. Garnish each drink with fresh cranberries and orange zest.
