Sparkling water – optional (if you prefer your mocktail less sweet)
Crushed ice
Instructions
In a saucepan place the water, sugar and 1 cup of cranberries on medium heat.
Cook until mixture starts boiling and becomes thick. With a wooden spoon, mash the cranberries lightly and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
If you prefer your syrup to be smooth and clear, you can strain the sugar mixture and discard the cranberry bits. I personally prefer to leave the cranberries in there.
On a flat plate, pour some sugar.
Run a wedge of lime or lemon around the edge of the glasses you would be using.
Dip the glass in the plate of sugar.
Place 2 tablespoon of cranberry syrup in each of the glass.
Pour ginger ale into the glasses till 2/3 full.
Add a splash of sparkling water is you prefer your mocktail less sweet.
