Distilled: Cranberry Rosemary Whiskey Sour

Fall Cocktails:

Cranberry Rosemary Whiskey Sour



Cranberries, those tart, vibrant, seasonal berries, find their way onto and into festive holiday recipes (try our Bourbon Soaked Cranberry Brussels Sprouts), and even, if you are so inclined, into festive holiday decor as well. Of course, you have the traditional cranberry sauce, which, in some cases, appears like a gelatinous blob alongside Thanksgiving Turkey (for an alternative, we love our Maple Cherry Balsamic Sauce). We prefer to infuse these beautifully deep red Christmas cranberries into festive and delicious cocktails, like our Cranberry Rosemary Whiskey Sour that brings signature bright, fresh, and tart seasonal flavor perfect for celebratory cocktails (or a delicious mocktail, just leave out the bourbon).


Pappy Van Winkle Kentucky Whiskey Sour Mixer


A simple craft cocktail to make, yet bursting with fresh, seasonal, and festive flavor. For added flair, a few cranberries (sugared if you so please) and a fresh sprig of rosemary will elevate this cocktail for holiday gatherings of all shapes and sizes. 


Pairing the traditional Whiskey Sour with our Pappy Van Winkle Kentucky Sour Mixer already sets this cocktail apart. With the flavor of fresh wildflower honey that has been slowly smoked over authentic Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrel staves, with bright and tangy citrus, and the lingering notes of charred oak, and sweetly smoked vanilla and caramel.
