Spicy-Sweet Holiday Storm 

While this recipe is definitely the most complicated, it is also quite possibly the most delicious! The jalapeño-honey syrup takes this mocktail to the next level. 

Ingredients

Jalapeño-Honey Syrup

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1-2 jalapeños, sliced
  • 6 slices fresh ginger

Sugared Cranberries

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

Mocktail

  • 1/3 cup cranberry juice
  • 2 Tablespoons pomegranate juice 
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-2 dashes bitters
  • 1 12-oz ginger beer
  • Mint sprigs
  • Sugared cranberries, for serving

Prep Your Jalapeño-Honey Syrup

  • In a pot, bring 1/2 cup water, the honey, jalapeños, and ginger to a boil over high heat. Boil 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat. 
  • Let cool, then strain the syrup into a glass jar. This makes enough for 6-8 drinks. The longer you allow the jalapeños to sit, the spicier the syrup.

Prep Your Sugared Cranberries

  • In a pot, bring 1/2 cup honey and 1/3 cup water to a boil. Cook 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. 
  • Add 2 cups fresh cranberries. Let sit 10-15 minutes. 
  • Strain the cranberries, then add them to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Toss the cranberries with 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until all the cranberries are coated. Allow the cranberries to dry, in a single layer, for at least one hour.

Rim Your Glass

  • Pour simple syrup onto a plate and dip the rim of your upside-down glass.
  • On another plate, place sugar. Dip your glass rim to coat.

Mix Your Mocktail

  • Combine the cranberry juice, lemon juice, bitters, and 1-2 tablespoon jalapeño honey with ice in a cocktail shaker. 
  • Stir to combine. Strain into your glass. 
  • Top with ginger beer and garnish as desired with cranberries and mint.
