Try A Cranberry Juice Mixer For A Sweeter Bourbon Sip
BY KAREN HART
While some traditional bourbon enthusiasts may initially balk at the idea, the combination of cranberry juice and bourbon offers a delightful balance of sweet and tart flavors.
Cranberry juice's tangy pucker allows bourbon's sweet caramel and vanilla flavors to shine through, creating a whole new experience for sipping on this alcohol.
Select a bourbon that's between 80 and 90 proof to enhance the tartness of cranberry juice. Options like Basil Hayden's 80-proof or Old Forester 88 are excellent choices.
Choose 100% cranberry juice over a cranberry cocktail for a balanced flavor profile. A 1:1 ratio of bourbon to cranberry juice creates a perfectly balanced drink.
