This cranberry drinking vinegar is a great way to spruce up your holiday drinks and cocktails. Add a bit of sparkling water, ginger beer, or tonic water for a non-alcoholic sipper. Or, add a splash of gin or vodka with a few ounces of your favorite sparkling water for a tangy cocktail. It's even delicious as a substitute for plain vinegar in your vinaigrette recipe.

Ingredients

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 pods cardamom, crushed
4 whole allspice berries, cracked
¼ (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick

Directions

Combine vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Stir and cover until cranberries begin to pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir again, being careful that cranberries do not burn you as they pop. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar has dissolved and cranberries have released their juice, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a container, seal, and refrigerate. Discard pulp.
