Cranberry Juice Cocktails

As you’d expect, Cranberry Juice is made out of Cranberries – but it also contains sugar and other fruit juices.

The Cranberry is a fruit native to North America and is recognised for its bright red colour, tart taste, and it’s sheer versatility.

Cranberries can be used to make a whole host of things:

• Cranberry Juice
• Cranberry Sauce
• Frozen Cranberries
• Various dietary supplements that contain Cranberry extract.

For Cranberry Juice, we recommend:

Cocktail shakers improve the taste of cocktails. It’s a fact.

There’s a reason that famed British spy James Bonds says “shaken, not stirred”. And that reason is: because it tastes better.

If you don’t already have a cocktail shaker set, you might want to check out our detailed Cocktail Shaker comparison article.

But to cut a long story short, here’s the cocktail shaker we recommend:

Bar Spoons are great for cocktails you’re suppose to stir, rather than shake in a cocktail shaker.

Sure, you can probably use any spoon to stir your drink but these bar spoons are the real deal. It’s the proper equipment to get the job right.

• They’re long enough to get to the bottom of any cocktail to allow you to properly stir.
• They have a twist spiral design that allows for a better grip.
• They’re made out of stainless steel, so they’re durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.

It’s important to get the mix of any cocktail right. The measurements are set for a reason – to specify a tried, tested, and tasty drink.

A jigger is going to help you get those perfect measurements – after all, it is what the pro’s use.

For a jigger, we recommend:

Getting a lemon squeezer will change your life.

When you make as many cocktail as I do squeezing out lemons and limes, a lemon squeezer is a life saver. It makes it easier to get the juice and you also typically get more juice out of the fruit.

It just makes sense.

If you are interested in a Lemon Squeezer, here’s the one we recommend:

This cocktail recipe tastes great, but let’s make it look great too.

Having the right glass for the right cocktail always makes the experience more enjoyable in my experience.

And the right glass is a cocktail glass.

We recommend:

Highball Glasses are the most common glasses in the cocktail world. You can put most cocktails in there from The Long Island Iced Tea to a Bay Breeze.

Champagne Flutes tend to give cocktails that classy look.

Typically reserved for Champagne or Prosecco-based drinks, they are a classy affair.

For example, can you imagine drinking a Kir Royale from a Pint Glass? Or a Mimosa from a Highball Glass?

Nope!

Champagne cocktail = Champagne Flute – I’m pretty sure it’s the law.

For Champagne Flutes, we recommend:

Old Fashioned Glasses give a cocktail a classic, retro, yet elegant look.

If you’re making an old school cocktail, then this is the glass you absolutely need.
