FAQ

Can I substitute Gin?

Gin is a very good substitute if you want a more juniper earthy flavor.

Can I use Cherry juice instead?
Can I use another juice instead?

Cherry juice works well with this cocktail. Any other red juice would keep to the idea of the love potion.

What type of vodka should I use?

I would stick to a flavorless one otherwise you are adding a competing flavor. If you do want to try a flavored vodka the best options are berry flavors as they will mix with the cranberry.

Is Vodka Cranberry healthy?

Vodka is a very low calories alcohol and bringing in a juice like cranberry with many health benefits makes this a excellent choice whether on a diet or just looking for a healthier option.

The Olive Twist

This cocktail is light and refreshing and let’s the juice shine. You can swap in some cherry or pomegranate juice instead of the cranberry. Squeeze an orange in to give it more of that citrus flavor. If you want to sweeten this up change in some rum for the vodka.
