Cranberry Wine

Inspired by our love of the season and Cranberry Wine, we’ve compiled a few of our favorite recipes in one handy guide. We invite you to cook, bake, mix, and shake your way through the holidays with us.

 

Cranberry Wine Poached Pears are a beautiful and aromatic addition to your holiday celebration. In addition to being festive and flavorful, we especially love that this dish is prepared in the slow cooker – keeping that all-important stovetop space open. Enjoy alongside vanilla ice cream or whipped mascarpone cheese for an extra decadent experience.

 

Crantini Cocktail is our unique spin on the classic martini. Crafted with just three ingredients – Cranberry wine, vodka, and fresh lemon or lime, the holiday flavor and color shine brilliantly. Simple and fun to create, the Crantini is a crowd pleaser and a show-stopper at gatherings large and small.

 

Cranberry Cakes are made from scratch little bundles of pure joy. These cakes are baked in either a mini bundt pan or a muffin tin, the individual-sized cakes are moist, delicious, and pretty enough to gift.

 

Cozy Cranberry Mulled Wine is a Saturday afternoon staple around the fireplace during the cold winter months. We recommend enjoying this delicious holiday-inspired mulled wine with your favorite companion and a fuzzy blanket.

 

Cranberry Holiday Sangria is our newest addition to the collection and was created in collaboration with our friends at Just a Taste in St. James, Missouri. A thoughtful blend of your choice of red wine, Raspberry wine, and Cranberry wine, the Cranberry Holiday Sangria is a flavor experience you won’t want to miss this season.
