Cranberry Apple Whiskey Cocktail Recipe

Cranberry Apple Whiskey Cocktail brings all the best vibes of winter. A delicious fizzy bit of excitement for your Fall and winter holidays.

I love apple drinks with whiskey and cranberry juice. On a cold winter night this is a perfect sipping companion.

I created this recipe with unsweetened Cranberry Juice, Crown apple Whiskey and 7up. It couldn’t be easier or more fun. I love the sweet cranapple fizz of this drink.

The garnish is nice too. The cranberries bob on top of the ice. I like to eat the apple slices. 🙂

Does Whiskey mix well with Cranberry Juice?

Whiskey and cranberry juice mix really well together. We used Crown Apple for the whiskey in this recipe, the apple whiskies make a perfect cranberry-apple flavor combination. More whiskey options are Jack Daniels Tennessee Apple Whiskey, Black Velvet Apple Whiskey, or Jim Beam Apple Bourbon Whiskey.

4. 7-up
5. Cranberry Juice
6. Cream Soda
7. Pineapple Juice

Make This Recipe as a Punch:

This cranberry drink is all about Fall Harvest flavors. This is a perfect punch choice for your Christmas holiday parties or Thanksgiving cocktail menu. It’s fairly inexpensive and has large appeal.

You can adjust the proportions of the ingredients as you like. It’s a dynamite flavor combination. Tweak it to your taste and let us know how it goes.

For Every 10 servings you will need:

• 15 oz. Apple Whiskey
• 8 oz. Unsweetened Cranberry juice
• 40 oz. 7UP (This is about 1 1/4 liter)

Just Chill all the ingredients ahead and make it immediately before serving at your party. Keep an ice bucket next to your punch bowl with tongs. No ice goes into the punch bowl or the drink will dilute. You don’t want that.

Ingredients:

• Crown Royal Apple Whiskey
• Cranberry Juice
• 7up
• Ice

Garnishes:

• Apple Slices: We used red apples. Green apples will also work but the red is a nice color with this cranberry drink.
• Top with several fresh cranberries.
• You may also enjoy garnishing with sugared cranberries for a sweeter sip and frosty look. Our Mistletoe Cranberry Margarita post shows you how to sugar cranberries. Fun to do for a frosty look at a party.

Whiskey:

This winter whisky cocktail is made with Canadian whisky. I’m sure any brand of apple whiskey will work for this drink. Jack Daniels just released their own Tennessee version and Jim Beam also has an apple whiskey. I can’t wait to try both of them too.

Cranberry Juice:

I’m using an UNSWEETENED cranberry juice. It blends very well with the whiskey and 7up. The drink is not too sweet but also not tart. A sweetened cranberry juice will most likely work well but it will be a bit sweeter.

The Fizz:

7up adds a light sweet fizz to this drink. The sparkling bubbliness brings in a new and welcome element. The sweet counterpoints beautifully with the unsweetened cranberry juice. It’s a great blend of flavors and textures.

The Method:

Just pour and garnish. This is a very simple cocktail. It’s complete in about three minutes. Gathering the ingredients and slicing the apples is the longest part.
