Recipes

December 27, 2023

This sweet and refreshing mocktail is the perfect drink to celebrate the New Year with the entire family!

Ingredients:

- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, plus more, for serving
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup frozen limeade concentrate (half of a 12-ounce can)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, plus lime slices, for serving
- Seltzer, for serving
- Rosemary (optional garnish)

Directions:

Combine the cranberries, sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Carefully smash the cranberries with a potato masher, then simmer the mixture until slightly reduced and dark red, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a strainer into a heatsafe container, pressing on the cranberry solids to extract all the juice. Let cool for 30 minutes.
Combine the cranberry syrup with the limeade and lime juice in a pitcher and stir well.
Mix equal parts of the drink mix and seltzer. Serve over ice with cranberries and a lime slice. Add rosemary as a garnish if desired.
