Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes     Cocktail Recipes

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 quart cranberry juice
1 cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
1/2 cup cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the juice, cinnamon stick, and cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of water and heat over medium-low heat, gently stirring, until the cranberries pop and are well coated with the sugar mixture.
  • When cool enough to handle, thread 3 to 4 berries each on 4 decorative toothpicks or skewers. Pour the mulled cranberry juice into 4 mugs and garnish with the cranberry swizzle.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose a good quality vodka: The vodka you use will make a big difference in the taste of your cocktail. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a neutral flavor.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice will give your cocktail a brighter flavor than bottled lime juice. If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
  • Add a splash of orange liqueur: Orange liqueur will add a hint of sweetness and complexity to your cocktail. If you don't have orange liqueur, you can use another citrus liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge: A lime wedge will add a pop of color and flavor to your cocktail. You can also garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a cranberry.

The cranberry cocktail is a refreshing and delicious drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive drink, try one of the cranberry cocktail recipes from this article. You won't be disappointed!
