Cranberry Bourbon Sour Recipe
Report
The Cranberry Bourbon Sour combines bourbon and triple sec with tart cranberry juice, balanced by lime juice and maple syrup for a smooth, slightly sweet cocktail. Garnished with fresh cranberries and rosemary, this drink offers a festive and refreshing flavor with a touch of herbal aroma.
Description
This cocktail uses 100% cranberry juice to provide a bright tartness that contrasts the warmth of bourbon and the citrus notes from triple sec and lime juice. Maple syrup adds subtle sweetness, balancing the sour components. The drink is stirred over ice to chill and dilute slightly before being strained into a glass filled with ice. The garnish of fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary adds visual appeal and a mild aromatic quality that complements the drink’s flavors. Overall, it’s a smooth and balanced sour cocktail with a seasonal twist due to cranberry and rosemary.
