Drinking Cranberry Persimmon Sunrise Liqueur has quickly become a quintessential favorite in our family. After a lengthy stay in Southern California, I developed a passion for the readily available Fuyu persimmon. This sweet fruit, eaten like an apple, is crunchy and delicious. It paired perfectly with tart cranberries and when I added in tangerine zest for more color and flavor, voila, a tasty liqueur was born! These fruits when combined look like the colors of a glorious sunrise and to me a sunrise drink means tequila!
I love to cook and create recipes with seasonal ingredients. The timing of my stay in San Diego aligned with the persimmon and cranberry harvest. The orange hues from the persimmons mixed with crimson red cranberries shout out “fall/winter holidays are here!” Time to make a festive party drink. You will love Cranberry Persimmon Sunrise Liqueur.
