FAQs

Bourbon, rye or scotch whisky are the best options for making whisky cranberry-based cocktails. The sweet and caramel flavour of bourbon, the spicier rye whisky, and the smoky scotch whisky complement the tar flavour of cranberry. 

Although whisky cranberry cocktails should be best made fresh before consumption, they can be prepared in advance for batch-making. It needs to be stored in a refrigerator and poured over ice before serving. 

Some other variations of this cocktail can be a spiced whisky cranberry cocktail made with cinnamon whisky or spiced rum.
