Steps:
- Cranberry-Thyme Syrup:
- Cook thyme, cranberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over low, swirling pan occasionally, just until sugar is dissolved and cranberries have released their color, 12-15 minutes (do not reduce liquid). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup and let cool (you should have 4 oz.).
- Assembly:
- For each cocktail, combine 1 oz. cranberry-thyme syrup, 1/2 oz. lemon juice, and 1/4 oz. Campari in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Cover and shake vigorously until the outside of shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and top with 3 oz. Champagne; garnish with 3 cranberries on a skewer.
- Do Ahead
- Syrup can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.

CRANBERRY KIR ROYALE
Steps:
- Add cranberries, orange juice, zest and sugar to a large pan and set over medium heat until berries break-down slightly and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. *Pour into a blender and process, be careful of the hot liquid expanding when you blend - use a towel over the top of the blender.
- Strain and discard any solids then set aside and cool.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 4 chilled champagne glasses. Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with Champagne.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Steps:
- Pour 2 tablespoons cranberry concentrate into each of 4 chilled Champagne glasses. Add 1/3 cup Champagne to each glass and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that is perfect for making cran royale. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they may not have as much flavor.
- Simmer the cranberries in sugar and water: This will help to extract the flavor from the cranberries and create a syrup.
- Strain the cranberry mixture: This will remove the skins and seeds from the cranberries, leaving you with a smooth and clear liquid.
- Chill the cranberry mixture: This will help to firm it up and make it easier to work with.
- Whip the cream: Heavy cream should be whipped until it forms stiff peaks. This will help to create a light and airy mousse.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture: This will create a smooth and creamy mousse.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
- Serve the mousse with fresh cranberries or a dollop of whipped cream: This will add a touch of elegance and flavor to your dessert.
Conclusion:
Cran royale is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it tart or sweet, creamy or light, you are sure to enjoy this classic French dessert.
