Best Frosty Cranberry Shrub Recipes
CRANBERRY SHRUB
This cranberry drinking vinegar is a great way to spruce up your holiday drinks and cocktails. Add a bit of sparkling water, ginger beer, or tonic water for a non-alcoholic sipper. Or, add a splash of gin or vodka with a few ounces of your favorite sparkling water for a tangy cocktail. It's even delicious as a substitute for plain vinegar in your vinaigrette recipe.

Steps:
- Combine vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Stir and cover until cranberries begin to pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir again, being careful that cranberries do not burn you as they pop. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar has dissolved and cranberries have released their juice, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a container, seal, and refrigerate. Discard pulp.

Steps:
- Puree the apple, cranberries, vinegar, sage and rosemary needles in a blender on high until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Place the sugar and lemon and orange rinds in a quart-sized glass jar and pour the puree over top.
- Tightly seal the lid and vigorously shake. Let sit in a cool, dark place for a week, turning the jar over once a day.
- Strain the shrub through a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a large bowl, pressing on the solids to release as much liquid as possible. Discard the leftover pulp and store in a clean, quart-sized glass jar.
- To serve, combine 1 ounce of the shrub with 3 ounces prosecco or other sparkling wine. For a no-alcohol treat, swap the prosecco with seltzer water.
FROSTY CRANBERRY SHRUB
This cocktail is a treat! Great on a hot summer afternoon or to set the mood for a holiday dinner. In the Test Kitchen, we tried this with and without the vodka. Both versions are really good and refreshing, but we may have favored the vodka version slightly. :)
