This cranberry drinking vinegar is a great way to spruce up your holiday drinks and cocktails. Add a bit of sparkling water, ginger beer, or tonic water for a non-alcoholic sipper. Or, add a splash of gin or vodka with a few ounces of your favorite sparkling water for a tangy cocktail. It's even delicious as a substitute for plain vinegar in your vinaigrette recipe.

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 pods cardamom, crushed
4 whole allspice berries, cracked
ΒΌ (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Stir and cover until cranberries begin to pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir again, being careful that cranberries do not burn you as they pop.

I found this recipe to be a little too complicated. I ended up just making a simple cranberry simple syrup instead.

This shrub was a little too tart for my taste, but I added a little honey and it was perfect.
