Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, squeezed
  • 1 1/2 oz. water
  • 1 1/2 oz. sugar
  • 1/2 oz. cranberries
  • 4 oz. 100% Cranberry Juice
  • 1 1/2 oz. orange juice
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • Flavored Carbonated Water
  • 1 1/2 oz. Alize Red Passion Vodka

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, and cranberries. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the cranberries are soft. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. The mixture should thicken to a syrupy consistency.
  2. In a 4-liter pitcher, mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cranberry simple syrup, orange juice, and cranberry juice. Stir in a pinch of cinnamon and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Fill a glass halfway with ice, then pour in the lemonade until it's halfway full. Top it off with Alize Red Passion Vodka and a splash of flavored carbonated water. Serve chilled.
  4. Garnish with powdered sugar around the rim for a winter effect, sugar-coated cranberries on a toothpick on the side of the glass, and/or add a cinnamon stick to the glass.
