Published by

There’s no better way to kick off the festive season than with a light and refreshing cocktail! During this time of year, it’s almost always a battle between pumpkin and apple, but don’t forget about cranberries! This notoriously tart-yet-flavorful fruit always packs a punch, which makes it perfect for a holiday cocktail!

Yes, it’s time to start prepping for the upcoming holidays, so why not stock up on cute dresses, find dishes to make for Friendsgiving, and even get ahead of gift shopping? I recommend doing it all with a festive cocktail in hand–specifically, this Cranberry Ginger Fizz!

The Cranberry Ginger Fizz is packed with bold flavors, making it the perfect addition to all of your plans. After the first sip, you’ll be immersed in flavors of gin, cranberry, and ginger, followed by ingredients like maple syrup, lemon, and thyme! It’s bold, effervescent, and sure to refresh you.

To make this fizzy, festive cocktail, just combine gin, cranberry juice, ginger liqueur, and maple syrup in a shaker with some fresh lemon juice and thyme. Shake and serve over crushed ice, topped with a splash of club soda. The finishing touch is a garnish of fresh cranberries and thyme. The thyme will give you the aroma of fresh herbs as you’re sipping!

Whether you enjoy the taste of cranberries in your grandma’s famous sauce or dried atop a seasonal salad, you have to try the delicious cranberry flavor in this cocktail. These tart-but-tasty gems will keep you wanting more!
