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!

How to Make a Spiced Cranberry Gin Fizz

Making a Spiced Cranberry Gin Fizz is so easy! Here’s how to put this cocktail together in 4 simple steps:

  1. Combine the egg white, gin, lemon juice, and cranberry juice in a cocktail shaker and shake.
  2. Add ice and shake again.
  3. Pour into a glass filled with ice, then add bitters and ginger beer.
  4. Garnish and enjoy!

Tips for the Egg White

If you’ve never made a cocktail with egg white before, it’s completely normal to feel hesitant about it at first. But trust on this one: adding egg whites to cocktails makes for the BEST fizzy drinks! If you’re still feeling unsure about it, here are some tips to ensure the best results:

  • Use an egg white separator to make sure that none of the egg yolk accidentally gets into the cocktail.
  • Be sure to use a store-bought egg from the refrigerator.
  • Make sure the egg doesn’t have previous cracks before adding to the cocktail.

Garnish With Rosemary or Thyme!

Here are some of our favorite ideas for ways to garnish a Cranberry Gin Fizz:

  • Rosemary Sprig
  • Thyme Sprig
  • Orange Peel Twist
  • Fresh Cranberries

Whether you add garnish or not, this Spiced Cranberry Gin Fizz cocktail is an absolute crowd pleaser and a favorite for getting in the holiday spirit!
