Best 4 Cranberry Quencher Recipes

SPARKLING CRANBERRY QUENCHER

SPANISH CRANBERRY SPARKLING MARTINI

Steps:

• Put the Cranberry Vodka in a cocktail shaker, add a splash of sherry and ice and shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a martini glass and top off with a splash of chilled Cava.
• 1 cup cranberries
• Bring the sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the cranberries and orange zest and cook until the cranberries pop, about 5 minutes. Pour the cranberry syrup into a large container with a lid and add the vodka. Refrigerate for at least 2 days. Strain the vodka into a pitcher, discarding the solids.

TAMARIND PINEAPPLE QUENCHER

Steps:

• Add the diced pineapple to a 14-ounce Collins glass and muddle with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon until it becomes a juicy pulp. Top with a big scoop of ice cubes then add the coconut water and tamarind syrup. Stir together then garnish the glass with the pineapple wedge and enjoy.
• Crack each tamarind pod to remove the pulp then discard the shells and stringy fibers. Combine the tamarind pulp, brown sugar, coriander seeds and 2 cups water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and cook at a rapid simmer, stirring frequently to help break up the pulp and prevent the sugar from scorching, until the pulp is loosened from the seeds, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe glass jar; discard the solids. Let cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 1 cup.
