Cranberry Orange Whiskey Sour

A whiskey sour dressed for the holidays: tart cranberry, fresh orange, and a bourbon backbone, shaken to a frothy chill. Distilled whiskey is gluten-free as poured, which makes this a safe celebratory pour for the GF crowd.

Yield: 1 cocktail · Time: 5 min

Ingredients

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1 oz unsweetened cranberry juice
• 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 oz fresh orange juice
• 1/2 oz simple syrup (or to taste)
• Orange twist and 3 fresh cranberries to garnish

Directions

1. Shake everything hard with ice for 15 seconds.
2. Strain over a large cube in a rocks glass.
3. Garnish with the orange twist and cranberries.

Pro tip: Unsweetened cranberry juice, not cocktail blend, keeps the drink tart enough to deserve the name sour.
