Cranberry Temple

725 MINUTES Cranberry
IDEAL FOR: Beverage
Serves

16 mocktails

I love the ritual of making a good beverage, and this is the perfect twist on a classic. No matter your age, nothing beats a scrumptious Shirley Temple made with tart, juicy cranberries.

INGREDIENTS

  • Simple Syrup
  • 2 cups Naturipe® Cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon cut into quarters
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • Cranberry Temple
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (above)
  • 1 craft cocktail cherry
  • 1 orange slice
  • 6 ounces sparkling lemonade or craft ginger ale

DIRECTIONS

For the Simple Syrup
1. Combine all syrup ingredients in a saucepan and
simmer. Watch for the cranberries to pop—about
10 minutes.
2. Refrigerate the entire mixture overnight to chill and
infuse.
3. Strain the ingredients by pressing the mixture
through a mesh strainer (there will be cranberry
seeds that make it through). If you want a completely
clear syrup, line the strainer with cheesecloth.
4. Reserve the liquid syrup in a covered container and
refrigerate until ready to serve.

For the Cranberry Temple Mocktail
1. When you’re ready to make the mocktails, combine
ice, syrup, and your beverage of choice in a highball.
2. Garnish with a craft cherry and a slice of orange.
