Cranberry Fizz Cocktail

Dairy can linger in many libations, from festive Bailey’s-spiked coffee and traditional egg nog to the ever-popular White Russian. But dairy-free drinks abound and are becoming more popular for their lighter taste. Take this cranberry fizz cocktail for example…

The fizz actually comes from pasteurized egg, which is considered a safe option when using raw egg. If you confuse eggs for dairy, you’re not alone. See this post: Are Eggs Dairy? If eggs are out for you, see my notes below.

The cranberry in this libation offers seasonal festivity, particularly when paired with orange liqueur (yes, it’s dairy-free!). When shaken, the egg white creates a delightful layer of foamy, frothy fizz. Bartenders have actually been using this trick since the late 1800s!
