This festive looking drink is perfect for any occasion but is especially perfect this cold time of year. It has all of the flavors you want; tart, sweet and a little bit of spice. The lemon juice adds just enough bitter flavor to balance the sweetness from the cranberry and orange.

The mix of sweet and bitter from the juice combined with the burn that Whiskey is known to give is truly delightful! It is hard to explain just how good it is, so we suggest you give this one a try and let us know what you think!
