Notes

🥡 STORAGE

  • Store leftover cranberry sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • The mixed cocktail should be consumed immediately for the best fizz and flavor.

♨️ REHEATING

  • This drink is served cold and should not be reheated.

❄️ FREEZING

  • Do not freeze, as carbonation and fresh fruit do not hold up well when frozen.

💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

  • Use cold ingredients to keep the drink chilled for longer.
  • Stir gently to avoid losing carbonation.
  • Prepare ingredients ahead of time, but assemble just before serving.

🍳 ALTERNATE COOKING METHODS

  • For a warm holiday version, heat the Pimm’s, cranberry sauce, and ginger beer gently in a saucepan (do not boil), then pour into mugs and garnish with a cinnamon stick.

♻️ LEFTOVERS

  • Leftover fruit or cranberry mixture can be used in sparkling water or mocktails the next day.

📝 NOTES

  • This festive cocktail is perfect for Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any winter party.
  • Add extra garnishes like rosemary sprigs or sugared cranberries for a decorative touch.
  • Serve immediately to preserve carbonation.
