Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover drink in an airtight container for up to 2 days. If cranberry juice is out of season, you can use a cranberry juice blend instead. Apple cider can also be a great substitute for apple juice, especially in the fall.

Pairings and Complements

The Cranberry Apple Cooler pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cheese and crackers, fresh fruit salads, or a delicious apple tart. For something more substantial, try it with grilled chicken or a vegetarian quiche.
