Cocktail Description
Crimson elegance meets French sophistication in the Cranberry Royale, a cocktail that transforms humble cranberry into an extraordinary celebration of flavor.
This sophisticated sipper combines the bold character of Hennessy V.S Cognac with the orange complexity of Grand Marnier, while fresh lemon juice provides necessary brightness to balance the sweet-tart cranberry juice. The addition of egg white creates a luxurious silky texture and a beautiful foam cap that carries the aromatic orange zest garnish. With its balanced profile of fruit, oak, and subtle spice, the Cranberry Royale offers enough complexity for cocktail enthusiasts while remaining approachable for casual drinkers. This ruby-hued beauty is surprisingly straightforward to make despite its elegant appearance—just a good shake with ice and a fine strain into a chilled martini glass. Serve it at holiday gatherings when cranberries are in season or at sophisticated dinner parties year-round, particularly alongside duck confit, aged cheese plates, or dark chocolate desserts that complement the cocktail's fruit-forward character and cognac backbone.
