homemade holiday cranberry cider
This is great for holiday parties and family gatherings. This is a tradition in our house to make for Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can adjust the flavors by juicing the oranges you zested, along with a few more oranges to taste. Add some apple juice, honey, water, and organic pure cranberry juice. The organic cranberry juice goes a long way so you won't need more than 1 bottle. Also, you could use ginger ale as a sweetener. Ratios I'm not sure about though. I always do it to taste.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This cranberry cider is not your average holiday cider. The combination of tart cranberry juice and sweet honey creates a wonderful balance of flavor. Then, orange zest, cloves, and cinnamon sticks add a holiday spin. This spells amazing while simmering and will instantly put you in the holiday spirit. A great drink to enjoy after a night of caroling or decorating the tree.
