A Blizzard cocktail is a sweet and sour bourbon cocktail not unlike a Manhattan. One of the key elements of a Blizzard is serving it very cold, as the name would suggest. The other ingredients in a Blizzard cocktail are cranberry juice, lemon juice and sugar syrup. The Blizzard, when well made, should be a very strong cocktail that is masked by the sweetness of the juice and sugar as well as the temperature at which it is served. It is an exceedingly refreshing cocktail.
