Ginger Cranberry Clementine Cocktail

Ingredients:

FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP

1 cup water

1 cup granulated sugar

4 large rosemary sprigs

peel from 2 clementines

FOR THE COCKTAILS

1 small clementine, quartered (use ½ if large)

ice

2 parts vodka

1–2 parts simple syrup, to taste

3 parts 100% unsweetened cranberry juice (NOT cranberry cocktail)

Reed's REAL cranberry ginger ale for topping

fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions:

Combine all simple syrup ingredients in a small saucepan and bring up to a simmer (but do not boil). Once the sugar has completely dissolved, turn off the heat and let steep for at least one hour. Strain, then store in a jar or squeeze bottle and chill until needed.

Muddle the clementine in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add ice, vodka, simple syrup, and cranberry juice, then give it a good shake. Strain into a glass filled with ice, then top with Reed's REAL cranberry ginger ale. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and a few fresh cranberries.

 

Ginger Cranberry Mint Spritzer

Ingredients:

2 32 oz (1 Qt) Cranberry-Pomegranate Juice - preferably with no sugar added (Recipe calls for 1, but have an additional on hand in case)

1.5 cups Titos Vodka or Hendricks Gin

1/2 cup St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur

2 limes, juiced/squeezed

Reed's REAL cranberry ginger ale

1 Bunch Mint leaves

Few Sprigs Rosemary

Cranberries (optional for garnish)

Lime wedges or slices (optional for garnish)

Ginger Mint Syrup:

2 cups water

3 Tbsp sugar

 2, 4-inch pieces ginger- sliced thin

3 inch sprig of rosemary

1 cup mint leaves 

 

Instructions

In a medium sauce pan, bring the sugar, water and ginger to a boil. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, reduce the pan to a slow simmer and add in the mint leaves and rosemary. Let this simmer on very low heat for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool completely and strain into a glass container or pitcher.In a large pitcher combine the cranberry pomegrante juice, ginger syrup, elderflower liqueur, vodka or gin, lime juice, and a few big handfuls of torn mint leaves. Taste at this point (remember it will still be diluted by the addition of ice). For additional sweetness- add more elderflower liqueur. Add additional juice if you want to dilute the taste of the gin or ginger.

Serve in a cocktail glass over lots of ice, and top off with a splash of Reed's cranberry ginger ale, cranberries and lime wedges!
