Cran-Raspberry Whiskey Cocktail

The perfect fresh and fruity cocktail sure to be a fan favorite at parties and get-togethers. If you’re doing a Valentine’s or Galentine’s party this year, this is a quick signature drink idea. Although I’m partial to whiskey, if you know ahead of time one of your guests isn’t a fan of whiskey, you can easily substitute with vodka, tequila, gin, rum, etc. If you have a big group, you can make a large pitcher and be ready to pour when your guests start arriving.
