16 cocktails

Swap out your next cocktail (or mocktail) for this fizzy, antioxidant rich drink! With 2 whole cups of cranberries, choose this delicious drink for your next party.

INGREDIENTS

  • Simple Syrup
  • 2 cups Naturipe® Cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, fresh, cut into quarters
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • Sparkling Bog
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice
  • 6 ounces Prosecco*

DIRECTIONS

For the Simple Syrup
1. Combine all syrup ingredients in a saucepan and
simmer and watch for the cranberries to pop—about
10 minutes.
2. Refrigerate the entire mixture overnight to chill and
infuse.
3. Strain the ingredients by pressing through a mesh
strainer (there will be cranberry seeds that make it
through). If you want a completely clear syrup, line
the strainer with cheesecloth. Reserve the liquid
syrup in a covered container and refrigerate until
ready to serve.

For the Sparkling Bog
1. Add the syrup and the pomegranate juice in a
champagne flute and top with Prosecco.

 

NOTES

*Substitute sparkling water for Prosecco for a
mocktail option.
This can be made as a punch for a whole party! The
ration is 2 cups simple syrup: 1 cup Pomegranate
juice: 1 bottle Prosecco
