All you need are 3 ingredients to make this quick and delicious Cranberry Bourbon Fizz recipe!
Hey hey! Anyone looking for a simple cocktail for holiday entertaining this year?
I’ve gotcha covered. ?
This Cranberry Bourbon Fizz literally takes less than a minute to make, it calls for just three simple ingredients (yep, ginger beer is the mystery “fizz”), and it’s totally fizzy and fun and festive! Feel free to sprinkle a few extra cranberries on touch for those wintery holiday vibes, or hey, an extra sprig of rosemary or a cinnamon stick or an orange peel would be fabulous if you feel like going crazy and making this a four ingredient cocktail. (Look out, world.)
We’ve been making these with our brand new bottle of (now imported!) bourbon, some extra-spicy ginger beer, and jugo de arándanos (ha, that was a new vocab word, for sure) this week here in Spain. And they hit the spot every time.
Here’s how to make ’em!
Begin with your favorite kind of bourbon. (We tracked down some Bulleit at a liquor store here. And as Barclay noted, even the import stickers here in Spain are beautiful!) Stir it together in a serving glass with some cranberry juice. (100% juice is essential here to get that strong, tart flavor). Fill the glass with ice. Then top it all off with some ginger beer to get that good “fizz”.
This Cranberry Bourbon Fizz recipe is quick and easy to make with just 3 ingredients. Feel free to add in a sprig of rosemary or a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange for different variations!

This sounds amazing! Would it work to make a jug for a party, or do the drinks need to be made individually? If yes, could you post the larger quantities with your recipe as well? Thank you. Hope you are having an awesome time in Spain! ?
Made these last night while doing foood prep with my girls. Everyone thought they were tasty! I am sad you are far away from your family. I had many years of that. Know the ache. But remember, you do have the man of your dreams! It will bring you closer. Happy mini thanksgiving! Love your work – and I am a good cook and hard to impress. ?
