This Cranberry Wine Spritzer is perfect to serve in the winter months! It’s full of flavors like cranberry, pear, cardamom, cinnamon, and clove. Make it in a large pitcher to serve at your next party!
½ - 1cupfresh whole cranberriesfor garnish, optional
8wholecardamom pods,optional
Instructions
Add the wine, pear cardamom soda, cloves and cinnamon sticks to a large pitcher.
Squeeze the juice from the limes into the pitcher using a citrus juicer or by hand over a strainer to catch the pulp and any little seeds.
Gently stir all the ingredients together. Add additional lime slices, cranberries and cardamom pods (optional) for garnish as desired.
Fill a glass a quarter of the way with ice and pour the wine spritzer over. Cranberries and lime slices should pour into the glass with the beverage, or can be added to each glass as served.
Notes
The pear cardamom soda can be replaced with ginger ale or sprite. I purchased the Cranberry Wine and the Pear Cardamom Soda at World Market.
If you can't find cranberry wine you can substitute with a Rosé or Cabernet Sauvignon wine or one of your other favorite fruit wines.
The cardamom pods are optional. These just give it a light and warm spiced taste but they are not always easy to find depending on where you live.
