Cranberry Fizzle Recipes

CRANBERRY FIZZ

Steps:

• In a pitcher, combine cranberry, orange and grapefruit juices and sugar. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled. Just before serving, stir in ginger ale. To serve, pour mixture over ice.

CRANBERRY GIN FIZZ

Steps:

• Combine the gin, cranberry juice and orange juice in a pitcher and stir.
• When ready to serve, pour the drink over ice. Top with ginger beer or ginger ale to taste. Garnish with thyme, a few cranberries and orange peel.

CRANBERRY GIN FIZZ

Steps:

• Tip the sugar and 150ml water into a saucepan set over a low heat and heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat to medium-low and add the cranberries. Cook, stirring occasionally for 15 mins or until the cranberries have started to break down. Leave to cool, then blitz to a smooth purée using a hand blender, if you like (you can also leave it as is). Will keep in a sterilised sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.
• To serve, spoon 1 tbsp of the cranberry purée into each glass, stir in a single or double measure of the gin and top up with the soda water. Garnish each glass with an orange slice and add a few ice cubes. Alternatively, mix everything together in a jug and serve.

CRANBERRY FIZZ -NON-ALCOHOLIC

• Diet gingerale and sugar substitute can be used in place of regular ginger ale and sugar to reduce calories per serving.
