Cranberry Cordial

Cranberry Cordial cocktail

A vibrant, homemade liqueur that captures the tart essence of fresh cranberries balanced with sweet sugar and smooth light rum. This infusion requires patience, aging for six weeks to develop a deep, ruby-red color and rich flavor profile, making it perfect for holiday gifting, sipping over ice, or topping with soda.

Ingredients

How to Make It

  1. Place the chopped cranberries into a clean 2-liter jar equipped with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Pour the granulated sugar and light rum over the cranberries.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and place the jar in a cool, dark location.
  4. Invert and shake the jar vigorously once every day for a duration of six weeks to ensure the sugar dissolves and the flavors infuse.
  5. After the aging period, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the fruit solids.
  6. Pour the filtered cordial into clean bottles and seal with corks.
