Drink of the Day: CranApple Martini

December 23, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Good day, everyone! Are you feeling the holiday spirit yet? Here’s a cocktail that will take your there. If not for the flavor, definitely with it’s color will do it. A nice reddish hue with the flavor of some of the fruits popular for this time of year: apple and cranberry. This cocktail can be a little too sweet. You can take out the sour mix to calm it down a little.

Running a little late and still have to get some shopping done, so I am going to keep the blog short today. Have a great Tuesday! Cheers!
