DIRECTIONS

For the Simple Syrup
1. Combine the simple syrup ingredients in a
saucepan and simmer for about 10 minutes.
2. Allow the mixture to reduce by half. Taste and
adjust sweetness if necessary. Remove from the heat
and allow to cool.
3. Strain the ingredients by pressing them 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 Sparkling Royale Mocktail
1. Pour simple syrup into a champagne flute
2. Finish with sparkling water and garnish with a fresh
cranberry or blueberry in the glass.

NOTES

*Substitute honey or agave syrup for sugar.
**Try different sparkling water flavors.
