A perfect, easy to make holiday cocktail! Scrumptious for the tastebuds and festive to see.
We used a top notch, unsweetened cranberry juice as made by Vincent Family Farms in our home state of Oregon, Makers Mark and Fee Bros bitters. The lemon simple syrup recipe that is included in this one - we used organic lemons given they were simmered in the sugar syrup - is wonderful with all kinds of other things and keeps very well in the fridge.
This is a keeper all around!

Very nice melding of flavors - love it and so did my family even though we aren't normally bourbon drinkers.
