Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh cranberries (or 100% cranberry juice)
- 4 cups of water
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the cranberries and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the cranberries are finely pureed.
- Pour the cranberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, discarding the solids left behind. The liquid should be smooth and rich in tangy berry notes.
- Add honey to the pitcher and stir well until it is completely dissolved. Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
- Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and give it a good stir. The lemon adds a refreshing zing that balances the sweetness of the honey.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cranberry honey juice over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a fragrant touch.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- For a slightly different flavor, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Serve the juice in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.
- This drink can be a fantastic base for a non-alcoholic punch at parties – just add sparkling water or club soda.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate the leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- If fresh cranberries are unavailable, use high-quality 100% cranberry juice.
- Swap lemon juice with lime juice for a different citrus twist.
