Best 4 Drunken Cranberry Sauce Recipes
Cranberry sauce is a traditional side dish served at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. It is typically made with fresh cranberries, sugar, and water, and can be cooked on the stovetop or in the oven. However, there is a variation on this classic recipe that is sure to turn heads: drunken cranberry sauce. This unique twist on a holiday favorite incorporates alcohol, such as rum, whiskey, or brandy, to create a boozy and flavorful sauce that will add a touch of sophistication to your holiday meal.

DRUNKEN CRANBERRY SAUCE
A family recipe we have used for years. We love it as a side dish to our turkey on Thanksgiving day. Also goes well on chicken, pork, and beef. Makes a great treat as an appetizer served with crackers, or can even be used over vanilla ice cream. I like to add the orange zest a couple tablespoons at a time, as not to overdo it. Adjust sweetness by adding 1 tablespoon sugar at a time at the end of cooking if needed.

DRUNKEN CRANBERRY SAUCE
This is my absolute favorite cranberry sauce recipe. I grew up eating the cranberries out of the can (or should I say avoiding them completely because they're pointless), and then I discovered there's more to cranberries than that jellied version of cranbery sauce. Don't stress about the alcohol because it's only for flavor. You won't really get drunk from this recipe unless you're drinking something while you make it.

- Use a variety of citrus fruits: The citrus fruits in this recipe add a bright, tangy flavor. You can use any combination of oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit. If you want a sweeter sauce, use more oranges and lemons. If you want a tarter sauce, use more limes and grapefruit.
- Add some spices: The spices in this recipe add a warm, festive flavor. You can use any combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. If you want a more traditional cranberry sauce, use more cinnamon and nutmeg. If you want a more unique sauce, use more ginger and cloves.
- Simmer the sauce until it thickens: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. Be sure to stir the sauce occasionally so that it doesn't burn.
- Let the sauce cool before serving: The sauce will thicken as it cools. Let the sauce cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
This drunken cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any holiday meal. The combination of fresh cranberries, citrus fruits, spices, and wine creates a sauce that is both tart and sweet. This sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
