Is it good to mix wine with cranberry juice?

Answer by  annie52foof (1459)

Mixing wine with cranberry juice makes a wonderful mixed drink. The tanginess of the cranberry juice blends well with your choice of wine.

That probably will not taste very good. Cranberry juice is usually mixed with vodka. I would try making a spritzer with your wine. Mix it with ginger ale instead of the juice.

This would not be my choice of a mixer but if you love cranberry juice then maybe mixing it with white wine would be okay, add some ice to this.

You could experiment with juices, but traditionally vodka or other harder alcohols are mixed with cranberry juice. I think you will find better luck mixing wine with seltzer water. Seltzer water is available cheaply in grocery stores and can be mixed with wine to make a wine spritzer. I have also mixed pink lemonade with cheap wine.

Cranberry juice is a great way to extend wine. It is also used in ginger ale. Or watered down for children to drink. You can even make cranberry ice cubes for a decoration in a gingel ale or lite colored soda.

Wine and cranberry juice can taste delicious together, mix when serving not in the bottle. Another way to stretch wine is to mix it with seltzer including cranberry flavored.

You can try it, but the results will probably be very acidic and tart unless you are using a very sweet wine. Grape juice or fruit punch might taste better.

I've never mixed wine with cranberry juice, but two wine drinks I love are sangria and wine spritzers. For the spritzer, I mix equal parts of your wine and soda water. For my "poor man's sangria", I mix equal parts lemon-lime soda and wine in a glass with sliced fruit.

i always mix my red with cranberry! (try bully hill's sweet walter red!) it's delish!

Answer by  Latin4 (11170)

I would start with a fruity red wine and garnish with lime or orange. Or try a pale pink wine that is also fruity. It might taste a little like sangria.

I mixed 100% cran juice w/ the end of a bottle of pinot grigio last night. This dry white really cut down the tartness of the juice. I was very pleased w/ this refreshing combo.
