Tart cranberries meet juicy orange, crisp apple, warm holiday spices, and just the right splash of Kōloa Dark Rum to round it all out. Rooted in tradition, but elevated with bold island flavor, this cranberry relish brings familiarity to the table, just with a bit more personality. Best of all, it’s no-cook, no-fuss, and full of fresh flavor that brightens up everything on your plate.

Whether you’re dressing up the Thanksgiving table or looking for something bold to spread on leftover turkey sandwiches, this relish is the kind of recipe that surprises people, in the best way.

Why Kōloa Dark Rum?

Kōloa Dark Rum brings rich, smooth notes of caramel, vanilla, espresso, and dark chocolate, a beautiful counterpoint to the brightness of the cranberries and citrus. Unlike overly sweet flavored rums, this one enhances the fruit without overwhelming it, delivering a balanced depth that lingers warmly on the palate.

This is the “secret ingredient” that takes your cranberry sauce from expected to unforgettable.
