Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cranberries. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not have the same tartness and flavor.
  • To make the cranberry syrup, you can use either white sugar or granulated sugar. If you are using white sugar, you may need to add a little bit more to taste.
  • If you don't have any fresh mint, you can use dried mint or a mint extract. However, fresh mint will give you the best flavor.
  • The Cranberry Smash can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, the mint should be added just before serving.
  • Garnish your Cranberry Smash with a lime wedge, a sprig of mint, or a few fresh cranberries.

Conclusion:

The Cranberry Smash is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your cocktails tart or sweet, the Cranberry Smash is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive cocktail, give the Cranberry Smash a try.
