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.
