Cranberry Orange Whiskey Sour

Healthy Fact of the Day

Cranberry Orange Whiskey Sour offers a flavorful twist on a classic cocktail, and you can make it a bit healthier with a few simple swaps. Use fresh cranberry and orange juice instead of sugary mixers for natural vitamins and antioxidants. Cranberries are rich in vitamin C and anti-inflammatory compounds, which support immune health. Opting for honey or maple syrup instead of simple syrup can provide a more natural sweetness while reducing refined sugars. Enjoy in moderation for a refreshing, citrusy cocktail with a health-conscious touch!

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Even if you’ve eaten a product safely before, always check the label each time you buy it. Manufacturers occasionally reformulate recipes, change suppliers, or add new allergen warnings. When cooking for others, ask about food allergies before you start, and keep ingredients in their original packaging until serving so guests can verify allergen information themselves. This simple habit can prevent serious allergic reactions and shows respect for people managing food allergies.
