Equipment

  • Equipment Needed:
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Highball glass or any tall glass
  • Jigger (or measuring cup)
  • Stirring spoon

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 oz cranberry juice unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 1 oz ginger beer for that spicy kick
  • 1 oz vodka optional for a stronger cocktail
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice for acidity
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh cranberries and lime slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Chill Your Glass: Start by placing your glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the cranberry juice, vodka (if using), and fresh lime juice. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well combined and chilled.
  • Strain and Serve: Remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
  • Add the Ginger Beer: Top the drink with ginger beer for that fizzy finish. Stir gently to mix.
  • Garnish: Finish off your Cranberry Ginger Fizz with fresh cranberries and a slice of lime on the rim of the glass.
  • Variations
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Omit the vodka and replace it with additional ginger beer for a refreshing mocktail.
  • Sparkling Cranberry Ginger Fizz: Add a splash of sparkling water or club soda for extra fizz.
  • Fruit-Infused: Add a few mint leaves or slices of fresh ginger for an added depth of flavor.
