When I think of the year-end holidays I think of good times and great food. But there are also certain flavors I look forward to tasting and enjoying because they are part of the traditional flavors of the holiday season.

A good holiday cocktail, in my opinion, should also reflect traditional flavors, in this case, I made a homemade simple syrup using whole cranberries and blueberries. I started off just using the cranberries but I had some blueberries in the fridge that I needed to use so I figured, why not? It was a good choice.

What You Will Need To Make Our Cran Blueberry Whiskey Cocktail:

Bourbon Whiskey. For this holiday cocktail, I am using a good bourbon whiskey. I love the smoky caramel notes of a good bourbon whiskey. I also like how well the bourbon pairs effortlessly with the cran-blueberry simple syrup and ginger beer. 

Cranberry & Blueberry Simple Syrup. I love making homemade simple syrups, mainly because I enjoy the process of making ingredients to use in my home bar. Simple syrup is something that takes minimal effort but can deliver big flavor. And simple syrup is extremely versatile and can be customized to include a wide variety of flavors. For this simple syrup recipe, I used blueberries and cranberries and adding a bit of ground ginger and clove. 

Spiced Ginger Beer. 

Citrus Bitters.

Lemons & Orange Slices
