This is a cranberry-orange whisky sour and it’s a great specialty cocktail for any holiday party. A whisky sour is considered a classic bourbon drink that is subtly sweet and sour at the same time. This old-timer has been around since the late 1800's and this is my version with a slightly more modern twist. Cheers!

You will need

3 oz Whisky 1 oz Cranberry Juice 1 oz Freshly squeezed Orange Juice Freshly squeezed Lemon Juice Simple Syrup Fresh Cranberries Crushed Ice Sugar (for dusting the glass) Thyme sprig, for garnish
