The tart flavour of cranberry is the base for many classic cocktails such as the Cosmopolitan & the Americano. The fruit of a low shrub or trailing vine, the cranberry favours acidic, boggy soil & cooler climates. Native Americans were the first to eat cranberries, so called because the flower resembles the neck, head & bill of a crane. The USA & Canada are now the main cranberry producers. Famed for their acidic, sweet flavour & pretty colour, cranberries are harvested in late Autumn.
