This Cranberry Orange Bourbon Cocktail is perfect for winter and the holiday season! This easy four ingredient cocktail has just the right balance of sweet and tart flavors and is sure to be a favorite for bourbon lovers! Cranberry orange is probably my favorite holiday flavor combination. I love it more than eggnog, gingerbread and peppermint, although I enjoy all of those too. Most of the cranberry orange recipes you see are for food, but I thought it would be wonderful in this Cranberry Orange Bourbon Cocktail.
