Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, grated fresh ginger, water, and granulated sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, allowing the cranberries to burst and the flavors to meld. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Let the cranberry-ginger syrup cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
To assemble the drink, fill two serving glasses with ice cubes.
Divide the cranberry-ginger syrup evenly between the two glasses, approximately 3 tablespoons per glass.
Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice to each glass, then top with sparkling water, leaving room to stir.
Stir gently to combine and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing Cranberry Gingerly!
