Holiday Cranberry Fizz
Cranberries are a truly multi-tasking fruit: You can use them for homemade cranberry sauce, dessert bars, cupcakes, and of course, gorgeous holiday cocktails for your next party.
This Holiday Cranberry Fizz has unexpected ingredients like black tea, pomegranate molasses (yum!), honey cranberry rosemary simple syrup (what?!), and orange bitters.
With incredible flavors like this, who needs alcohol?
Simple syrups are, well, simple to make, but you can always buy them pre-made.
Pomegranate molasses is available at specialty food stores, online, or you can make your own — it’s essentially pomegranate juice reduced with sugar and lemon juice.
Pro Tips:
- You can use regular or decaffeinated black tea.
- Pomegranate molasses is a Middle Eastern pantry staple that’s used like concentrated pomegranate juice.
Variation:
Prefer a little kick to your drink? Add ⅔ cup gin to the punch bowl.
