CRANBERRY KISSES

Cranberry Kisses: A Spiced & Sparkling Winter Warmer

Warm, festive, and effortlessly elegant, the Cranberry Kisses cocktail is your new favourite winter serve. With a base of dry gin, topped with the bold sparkle of Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger Tonic, and finished with fragrant seasonal garnishes, this drink brings just the right amount of spice and sparkle to your glass. It’s simple, stylish, and seriously sippable — whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering or enjoying a quiet moment by the fire.

The Cranberry Kisses is a beautiful balance of sharp fruit, warming spice and classic gin botanicals. The gin provides a crisp, herbaceous base, while the cranberry and ginger mixer adds depth, fizz, and that unmistakable festive edge. Then come the garnishes: a slice of orange for brightness, a cinnamon stick for warmth, and star anise for that signature seasonal aroma. It’s a cocktail that looks like winter and tastes like a celebration.

Why We Love It

This cocktail brings together everything we love about the colder months — bold flavours, cosy spices, and a touch of glamour. Cranberry Kisses is incredibly easy to make, but the result feels luxurious and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of cranberry and ginger gives it a gentle tang and a warming finish, making it a wonderful alternative to heavier mulled drinks or overly sweet holiday punches.

Perfect For…

Whether you’re toasting with friends at a Christmas party, clinking glasses on New Year’s Eve, or enjoying a solo sip during a snowy afternoon, Cranberry Kisses brings the festive spirit with every pour. It’s an ideal pre-dinner cocktail or a lighter choice to enjoy alongside nibbles and conversation during holiday gatherings.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger delivers bold cranberry sharpness and a touch of heat from natural ginger, making it the perfect pairing for a dry gin. It balances botanicals beautifully and brings a lively fizz to this seasonal serve, keeping things fresh while still feeling cosy and festive.

Serving Tips

• Use a wide tumbler or rocks glass: This gives plenty of space for ice and garnishes to shine.
• Garnish generously: The orange slice, cinnamon stick, and star anise don’t just look great — they add aroma and flavour as you sip.
• Stir gently: Mix just enough to combine while keeping the bubbles intact.

With its deep ruby colour, warming spice notes, and just the right amount of sparkle, the Cranberry Kisses cocktail is a love letter to winter. It’s festive, fragrant, and full of flavour — the kind of drink that makes the season feel just a little more magical.
