Maple Cranberry Bourbon Martini

Happy Friday! Hope you have a fun weekend planned. I will be in Las Vegas. Yep. I might just talk a bartender into making my favorite new cocktail, this Cranberry Bourbon Martini. How festive would this be for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s Eve?

I use real unsweetened cranberry juice in this cocktail.

Sweetened it with Bourbon Maple Syrup.

Float some fresh cranberries on the top. Do it.

This drink is a bit tart. And perfectly sweet at the same time. It’s exactly what you need when sitting by the fire in Montana.

Or watching the sunset in Telluride.

Maker’s Mark has become a favorite here.

I love the the sensation of chilly days & sipping warming bourbon.

    Wow, this is some seriously stunning photography! It sounds delicious–going on my holiday cocktail menu for sure. My family celebrates on Christmas Eve with a fancy homemade dinner and cocktails around the Christmas tree before we go to church…these would be a fabulous choice! The kids would love a matching cranberry skewer in their sparkling apple cider, too. 🙂

    Great drink idea. I love bourbon and adding maple syrup and cranberry sounds even better. I can’t wait to try this.

    If you want some true bartender street cred, this should be called a cranberry manhattan. Martinis imply gin or vodka and you can drop the reference to bourbon altogether since manhattans are made with bourbon. Nice recipe though, good potential!

    1. Marla November 17, 2013 at 10:12 am

      Thanks for the street cred Tom!! I did some google research before I posted…and found a few bourbon martinis. Even Giada has one 😉

    Wow! Awesome and mouthwatering. Do you actually eat the cranberry garnish or way too sour?
