This delightful cranberry spritzer is a delicious way to celebrate the holiday season. Here, the classic flavor combination of cranberry, orange, and cinnamon is complemented by the unexpected addition of cumin, a pleasant mocktail that everyone can enjoy. Cheers!
Ingredients for this Recipe :
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp whole cumin seeds
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 3 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
- 2 medium organic oranges, each cut into 8 wedges
- 3 cup sparkling water
Optional Garnish:
- Additional cinnamon sticks
- 6 long rosemary sprigs, lower leaves removed and threaded with fresh cranberries
How to Make Cranberry Spritzer Mocktail :
Step 1:
Add cranberries, honey, water, cumin seeds, and cinnamon sticks to a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the honey is melted and the spices are intensely fragrant.
Step 2:
Remove from heat and transfer to a large glass or another non-reactive bowl. Add cranberry juice and orange wedges. Refrigerate for several hours to overnight.
Step 3:
Once thoroughly chilled, remove from refrigerator and firmly squeeze each orange wedge into the bowl to capture the juice before discarding. Strain the mixture with a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids.
Step 4:
To serve this spiced spritzer, fill serving glasses with ice and add enough of the seasoned cranberry juice mixture to fill each glass about 1/3 full. Top off each glass with sparkling water and stir to combine. Taste and sweeten with additional honey, if desired. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and/or rosemary skewers and serve immediately.
