Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, cut into slices
- 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- 1 ounce orange juice
- 1 ounce aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 1 ounce ginger simple syrup
- 2–3 ounces seltzer
- 3–4 fresh cranberries (optional garnish)
- 1 dried orange slice (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Make the simple syrup. Combine sugar, water, and ginger slices in a small pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool. Strain and store in the fridge.
- Prep the orange. Zest the orange, then cut it in half. Squeeze juice from one half and set aside. Cut the remaining half into wedges or slices. Mix half the zest with sugar on a plate. Rub a slice of orange around the glass rim and roll in the orange sugar.
- Make the mocktail. Pour cranberry juice, orange juice, aquafaba, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake for 10 seconds. Add ice and shake for another 10-15 seconds.
- Assemble your mocktail. Strain into the prepped glass. Slowly pour seltzer over the foam. Garnish with sugared cranberries and an orange slice.
Notes
- Store ginger simple syrup in the fridge for up to a month.
- Use fresh cranberries for garnish if available.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup.
