Healthy Holiday Cocktails

Cranberries

Cranberries are a seasonal powerhouse protecting against urinary tract infections as well as being an excellent source of Vitamin C, manganese, and other phytonutrients called flavonoids. These powerful antioxidants help maintain cell structure and eliminate “free radicals” (aka: toxins) from the body.  Not only are they super healthy, but they’re festive, colorful, and delicious. Jazz up your holiday offerings this year with our Cranberry Cosmopolitan – made with your own homemade Cranberry Liqueur.

Cranberry Cosmopolitan: 1/2 cup Cranberry Liqueur, 1/4 cup Cointreau, 2 tablespoons lime juice.  Mix with 1 cup crushed ice; strain into martini glass.  Makes 2 cocktails.
