Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, plus more, for serving
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup frozen limeade concentrate (half of a 12-ounce can)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, plus lime slices, for serving
- Seltzer, for serving
Instructions
- Combine the cranberries, sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Carefully smash the cranberries with a potato masher, then simmer the mixture until slightly reduced and dark red, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a strainer into a heatsafe container, pressing on the cranberry solids to extract all the juice. Let cool for 30 minutes.
- Combine the cranberry syrup with the limeade and lime juice in a pitcher and stir well.
- Mix equal parts of the drink mix and seltzer. Serve over ice with cranberries and a lime slice.

Reviews
It tasted perfect! I was looking for drinks I could make for the kids while us adults sat by the fire. I found this and used it, I was a hit! I showed one of the older ones how to mix everything, and they drank two or three pitchers full!
