Spiced Cranberry Gin Fizz – The Best Holiday Cocktail!
Whether you’re making this Spiced Cranberry Gin Fizz for a Christmas party, fall gathering, or just a cozy night in, this festive cocktail will get you in the holiday mood. Made with simple ingredients and garnished to perfection with orange and rosemary, you’ll love to seasonal flavors of this beautiful drink!
Ingredients
Egg White – Trust us on this one: the egg white in a fizz cocktail is a total must! This is what creates that fizzy topping on the drink that really brinks it together. The citrus in the drink “cooks” the egg white, making it perfect for cocktails like this one!
Gin – Any type of gin is great in this Cranberry Gin Fizz. This Zero Proof Gin is also a great option for an alcohol-free cocktail!
Lemon Juice – Lemon juice adds a citrus flavor that brings the flavors in this drink together. It’s also essential for the egg white!
Cranberry Juice – The star of this cocktail is cranberry juice! Any type of cranberry juice blend will work, but using pure cranberry juice is best for the ultimate holiday flavor.
Bitters – Orange bitters combined with angostura bitters give this drink a festive flavor that’s unlike any other! However, feel free to use either type of bitters instead of both if desired.

Ginger Beer – There’s nothing like the bright flavor of ginger beer in holiday cocktails! Don’t have ginger beer on hand? You can always use club soda and simple syrup instead.
Simple Syrup (Optional) – The ginger beer makes for a perfectly sweet cocktail. However, if you prefer your cocktails a bit on the sweeter side, you can always an extra teaspoon of simple syrup!
