Sparkling Cranberry Cider Cocktail

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we thought this warming cranberry cocktail was appropriate. With just a few tasty ingredients (you know we like a nice and easy cocktail) this one is simple to make while also packing in some serious flavor. So, what’s our secret? Champlain Orchards Cranberry Hard Cider adds flavor, bubbles, and pairs perfectly with Doc Brown’s Really Bad Dark Rum. Check it out –

Ingredients:

3 oz of Champlain Orchards Cranberry Hard Cider
1 oz of Doc Brown’s Really Bad Dark Rum
2 oz of cranberry juice, apple cider, or another mixer of your choice (we used cranberry juice for a tart cocktail)
1 apple (for garnish)

Make This Cocktail:

Mix the cider, rum, and mixer together over ice
Garnish with an apple slice (or cranberries would be fancy too)

What do you think? A new seasonal favorite? We think so!

Head over to Mystic for all your Thanksgiving Day needs. Along with having high-end wines we also have fantastic boxed wines and 3 for $20 wines!

Arnold Palmer with a Twist

The sun is shining, pools are open and the cocktails are flowing. YES! Summer is here and it feels so good!

July’s delicious cocktail is another easy-to-make cocktail… All you need is some Deep Eddy Sweet Tea, lemonade and lemons to create this delicious beverage everyone (above 21) will love.

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Ingredients:

Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka: Tasting Notes – Deep Eddy Sweet Tea begins with our 10x-distilled Original Vodka, to which we add real, whole-leaf Indonesian Black Tea and sweeten with a hint of organic honey from a local Texas Hill Country apiary. Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka was our first product, but like the rest of our vodkas, doesn’t take itself too seriously!
Lemonade: We used organic lemonade from our next store neighbor, Stop & Shop
Lemon wedge

Make It: Mix together 2 ounces of Deep Eddy with 4 ounces of lemonade and add a lemon wedge

We hope you enjoy this cocktail safely! Have a great summer and we hope to see you at Mystic Wine Shoppe soon.
