The perfect flavors of the holiday season include cranberries and oranges. I found a dozen recipes on Pinterest using cranberries for a holiday drink. I love cranberry and my hubby came home with two large boxes of mandarin oranges from a fundraising sale. These are the tangerines that are sold under brand names like Cuties. They are quick and easy to peel and just the right size for a snack. They are also perfect for sweetening and taking the edge off of tart cranberry.
Cranberry Christmas Cocktail
1 mandarin orange (Cuties)
8 large ice cubes
1 ½ cups Cranberry juice
1 12 oz. can ginger ale
And a good pour of Rye Whiskey
Place everything in a blender and
run until ice is crushed. Garnish with a couple fresh cranberries or a skewer of candied cranberries. You can leave out the whiskey to make it a mocktail or substitute prosecco or other sparkling wine to make it more bubbly.
Pour into a glass strained or unstrained. This recipe
makes about 30 ounces or 5 6-ounce servings.
