I'm
not big on drinks and don't normally order drinks when I go out, but
occasionally, when we have friends over for dinner, I like to make
some light cocktails to go with the hors d'oeuvres and to whet our
appetites before the meal. This time of year is cranberry time. Their
ruby red colour always fits the holiday season so well, and their
tartness is just tart enough to remind us to feed our souls a little
extra sweetness over the coming year. For this drink, I used fresh
cranberries with orange juice and maple syrup (no sugar!) as a base,
infused with the comforting aroma of cinnamon. I hope their tastes
and smells will help you make a good impression for your guests
before your holiday meal! Merry Christmas!
