Cocktail Description

Autumn captured in a glass, the Crisp Harvest Splash combines the bright tartness of cranberry with sweet apple notes and citrus sunshine.

This refreshing cocktail balances the clean, neutral canvas of Ketel One vodka with a trio of complementary juices that create layers of fruit-forward flavor without becoming overly sweet. The pressed apple provides orchard freshness, while cranberry adds a pleasant tartness that's softened by the natural sweetness of fresh orange juice. Ideal for weekend brunches or as a lighter option at fall gatherings, the Crisp Harvest Splash works equally well as a daytime sipper or pre-dinner drink. The simple shake-and-strain preparation makes it accessible even for novice home bartenders. Its versatile flavor profile pairs beautifully with savory brunch dishes like quiche or eggs benedict, but it also complements heartier fare such as roasted chicken or pork dishes with fruit components.
