- If you'd like, sugar the rim with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon mixed with 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Make a big batch by adding 4 cups of bourbon to the spiced cranberry juice and let guests serve themselves.
- If you like a less strong cocktail, use 1 ounce of bourbon and 2 ounces of spiced cranberry juice.
- The spiced cranberry juice will keep for at least a week in the fridge.
