A festive and refreshing cocktail that is great for winter get-togethers. Sugar and mint, which are both sweet and fresh, balance out the sourness of the cranberries. Lime juice gives it a zesty kick. For a delicious fall drink, serve chilled.
Ingredients: 1 cup cranberries. 1/2 cup sugar. 1/2 cup water. 8-10 fresh mint leaves. 2 limes, juiced. 2 cups sparkling water. Ice cubes.
Instructions: Put cranberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix them together. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it cook for 5 minutes, until the cranberries pop. Take it off the heat and let it cool down. Mix fresh mint leaves and lime juice together in a glass. Put ice cubes in the glass. Add the cranberry mix to the ice. Add sparkling water on top. Mix everything together slowly. If you want, you can add more mint leaves and cranberries as a garnish.
