Equipment
- Large pitcher
- cocktail glasses or any serving glass
Ingredients
- 2 apples diced
- 2 pears diced
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6 cups Cranberry Canada Dry® Ginger Ale
- 6 cups apple cider
- cocktail toothpicks and additional cranberries for optional garnish
Instructions
- Place apples, pears, cranberries and cinnamon sticks into a large pitcher or punch bowl
- Add Cranberry Canada Dry Ginger ale and apple cider
- Gently stir and serve cold.
- To garnish, thread cranberries onto a cocktail toothpick and lay on the edge of the glass. Add a thinly sliced apple to the drink.
Notes
- If you have the time, allow the fruit to infuse the cider for a few hours before adding the ginger ale. This just adds more flavor to the drink.
- Apples and pears may be cut up ahead of time, but toss them in lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
- Keep it chilled- Frozen cranberries will act like ice and keep the drink chilled. But don't try to make the garnish with frozen or thawed berries, you'll need fresh.
