You can thank me later for this delicious refreshing Whiskey Cranberry Cocktail.
I am telling you it will be your go-to Thanksgiving and/or Christmas drink for years to come. It is our traditional cocktail we make every year and I guarantee it will be your families too! It will be such a huge hit that you will have to double the recipe like we do.
You can find the original recipe here.
Recommendations & Recipes Adjustments:
- Use your favorite brand of Whiskey.
- Omit the 1 cup of sugar as all the juices have tons of sugar in them already.
- Omit the 3 cups of cranberry juice you put in at the end.
- We used a pitcher container instead of a shallow container when freezing. It was easier to pour out into the drinking glasses instead of scooping out the mixture.
- You really do not need the mint or diced cranberries. They are just there for garnish.
YOU’RE WELCOME!

Ingredients
- 2 cups whiskey, preferably Crown Royal
- 6 cups cranberry juice
- 4 & 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
- 2 cups orange juice
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, diced
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Directions
- Step 1
- Combine the whiskey, 3 cups cranberry juice, the pomegranate juice, orange juice, lime juice, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large, shallow freezer-safe container. Stir well, then cover and freeze until the mixture is icy, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes, 4 to 5 hours.
- Step 2
- Scrape the frozen mixture with a spoon and divide among glasses, filling them three-quarters of the way. Divide the remaining 3 cups cranberry juice among the glasses and top with the diced cranberries, stir until slushy and garnish with mint.
- Step 3
- NOTES: I do not like to add the sugar since the juices have enough sugar in them already. I feel like it is too sweet with the added sugar. I also like to use a pitcher container instead of a shallow container when freezing.
