This week the Project Pastry Queen members are having a virtual baby shower for Emily and BabyRuf! The shower is being hosted by Emily of A Gilt Nutmeg, and you can head over to her site to see everyone’s contributions!
I decided to make a festive drink for the party. I went with cran-raspberry and orange flavors, but you could use this method with any flavor combination you prefer. This drink is sparkling and fruity without being too sweet, and it is non-alcoholic since this is a baby shower.
Congratulations to Emily and her family, and blessings to BabyRuf!
Cran-Orange Sparklers (my original recipe)
1 (12 fl. oz.) can cranberry-raspberry cocktail/juice concentrate 12 fl. oz. orange juice 12 fl. oz. water 1 orange Sparkling water, ginger ale, or club soda (I used Orange Citrus Seltzer Water)Slice the orange. In a pitcher, combine the concentrate, orange juice, water and orange slices, then chill in the refrigerator. If desired, save a couple orange slices to garnish glasses.
To serve, rub an orange slice on rims of glasses, dip in sugar, and add ice. Fill glass 2/3 full with juice and top off with sparkling water. Stir gently and enjoy!
This sounds like a wonderful drink. I’m definitely will try this with ginger ale.
I hope you like it!
Thanks for making something for the virtual shower! These look so refreshing! I’ve been looking for some non-alcoholic drinks for the summer…these should be perfect. Thanks Amanda!
I hope you and BabyRuf are doing well! Enjoy the drink
I LOVE the half-pint “glasses”.
Thanks! It’s always good when something serves more than one purpose
