The one thing you will find consist with my beer cocktails is that they are all fairly easy with very little setup required. Because of this, I wanted to challenge myself to create something unique and sophisticated for those avid beer fans. By more sophisticated, I just mean that I use more than 3 ingredients.
It’s still easy to put together if you know your way around a muddler. Since the winter season is upon us, cranberries seem to be all over my place, and it only made sense that I pair this with a delicious stout. The rest is history once I added bourbon, sweet vermouth and bitters to the mix. With a little tender love and care, this will quickly become a favourite in your place.
Cranberry Bourbon Stout
A sophisticated blend of bourbon, cranberry, sweet vermouth and stout to pretty much make any beer drinker celebrate!
Difficulty: Intermediate

- 1.5 oz Bourbon

- 1 oz Cranberry Puree
- 1 Brown Sugar Cube
- 4 dashes Angostura Bitters
- 2 oz Stout
Instructions
-
In a double rocks glass, place the sugar cube, and soak the cube with angostura bitters
-
Add puree, bourbon, sweet vermouth and make sure everything is well mixed
-
Fill the glass with ice and top with Stout
Recipe Notes
If you have a mixing glass, it would be beneficial to stir all these ingredients (except Stout) and strain into the rocks glass. This allows for a more refined, less vicious liquid, that will go well once topped with Stout. It will also allow the Stout to incorporate with the other ingredients with ease.
