Cocktail

To begin preparing your Cranberry Lemon Drop Cocktail, gather all ingredients. Divide Genesis Cranberry Lemonade between two glasses. Add 1/2-1 oz fresh lemon juice to each glass. 

Sugared Cranberries 

Combine 2 tbsp. sugar and 2 tbsp. water in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. 

Remove from heat immediately and stir in 1/2 a cup of fresh cranberries. Stir and allow cranberries to soak in the sugar syrup for 5 minutes or so. 

Remove cranberries from saucepan using a slotted spoon and spread onto a sheet of parchment paper or cooling rack. Separate them as much as possible.

Allow cranberries to dry for 5-10 minutes, then toss into a small bowl filled with sugar of choice. We used organic cane sugar. Toss or stir until all cranberries are coated.

Let sugared cranberries dry at room temperature at least 1 hour or refrigerate until ready to use. 

Add sugared cranberries to your favorite drinks and enjoy!
