Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups sparkling water
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, grated fresh ginger, water, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, allowing the cranberries to burst and the flavors to meld. This should take about 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

Step 4

Let the cranberry-ginger syrup cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

To assemble the drink, fill two serving glasses with ice cubes.

Step 6

Divide the cranberry-ginger syrup evenly between the two glasses, approximately 3 tablespoons per glass.

Step 7

Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice to each glass, then top with sparkling water, leaving room to stir.

Step 8

Stir gently to combine and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing Cranberry Gingerly!
