Festive Holiday Delights

A sparkling, tart-sweet sipper with festive cranberry flair and light spice. Non-alcoholic holiday cheer in every sip!

Ingredients

  • 3 oz unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 1 oz fresh squeezed orange juice (save the zest!)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon pear balsamic vinegar (or really good aged balsamic vinegar)
  • 1-2 droppers Apothékary’s Wine Down (optional but so yummy!)
  • Strip of orange zest
  • Plain sparkling water
  • Garnish: Stick with sugared cranberries

Instructions

  1. In a pretty cocktail glass, add a couple ice cubes, the cranberry juice, fresh squeezed orange juice, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and optional Apothékary’s Wine Down herbal drops. Stir gently to mix well.
  2. Give your orange zest strip a twist over your glass to release its oils, then rub the the rim of your serving glass with the peel. Drop it into your juice blend.
  3. Top with plain sparkling water to your preferred level of fizz. About 4 to 6 oz works great! Give another gentle stir.
  4. Garnish with a stick of sugared cranberries for an extra holiday sparkle. Stir gently and enjoy right away!
