Cranberry Apple Sparkling Drink

Cranberry Apple Sparkling Drink

with Cranberry Ice Cubes

Overdoing it on the sugary foods this season? It’s hard to avoid with all the temptation around us from Thanksgiving until we start being little angels again on Jan. 1. A lot of the commercial sparkling juices are delicious but very high in sugar. This is a low-sugar drink you can enjoy with a great seasonal appeal and not a lot of calories. Plus, polyphenols, the antioxidant compound found in cranberries, has been shown to help improve circulation and kidney function. Kids and adults alike can enjoy it; if it’s too sour for a young palate, just add a bit more apple juice. The cranberry ice cubes are completely unnecessary but a little festive touch.

 

Cranberry Apple Sparkling Drink

½ cup apple juice
¼ cup cranberry juice
(no apple juice added, just pure cranberry juice)
¾ cup sparkling mineral water
 
Mix the apple and cranberry juice in a 16-ounce glass. Add ice and fill to the top with mineral water.



Cranberry Ice Cubes

about 32 cranberries
Water
 
Fill your ice cube tray half-way with water and freeze. Add the cranberries, two in each compartment, and fill the rest of the way with water. Freeze.
