I am currently obsessed with Thanksgiving and cranberries in all my drinks!  Today I am posting a cranberry whiskey sour, which was initially an experiment that turned out awesome! The sour of the lemon and cranberries really highlight the spiciness of the whiskey.  I also added some cranberry sauce to really get the party going.  I actually thought I had purchased cranberry jam at the store but a second look revealed that it was cranberry sauce.  The cranberry sauce added another dimension of sweet and cranberry flavor.  This is my official Movember cocktail!  It is a little spicy and a little sweet just like those mustaches! Try this whiskey sour tonight to elevate this crisp November night!  Enjoy your Movember! Cheers!
