I really love cranberry sauce in all its forms– canned or homemade; it’s all delicious to me. I’ve used jams and jellies in cocktails before, so why not try cranberry sauce?! I’m here to tell you, it works! This cranberry bourbon smash is a delicious blend of cranberry and orange that’s balanced with warming bourbon and ginger ale. Garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary, it looks as gorgeous as it tastes. This is the perfect cranberry bourbon cocktail for Thanksgiving!

Serving Suggestions

This cranberry bourbon smash is one of my favorite drinks to serve with Thanksgiving dinner. It’s a little bit tart and a little bit sweet, which helps to balance out all the rich and creamy flavors of a typical holiday meal. It tastes great with everything from mashed potatoes covered with turkey gravy to candied sweet potatoes. You really can’t go wrong with this cranberry bourbon cocktail!
