N/A Cranberry Sour for Mocktail Monday

It's Mocktail Monday, and we are making a bright, vibrant cranberry sour that is perfect for these warm spring days. This one uses the same cranberry juice from our N/A Cosmopolitan to give you another fun option for repurposing that leftover juice.

Side note, I love Sours, especially for Mocktails because the egg white gives the drink a great texture and the foam you get is just so eye catching that it really helps it not feel like a Mocktail in my opinion.

Recipe: N/A Cranberry Sour

Ingredients:

• 0.75 oz hot honey simple syrup*

• 1.5 oz fresh lemon juice

• 3.5 oz 100% cranberry juice

• 1 egg white or 1 oz aquafaba**

Build:

1. Add hot honey simple syrup, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and egg white or aquafaba to a shaker.

2. Add ice, seal, and shake aggressively for about 30 seconds to chill and whip the egg white or aquafaba.

3. Strain into a Nick and Nora, coupe, or whatever other glass you feel like using.

4. Enjoy!

Notes:

*The goal is not for the drink to be spicy. The hot honey is just there to add a little complexity. You should only get the subtlest hint of spice at the back of the palate.

**While the risk of foodborne illness from raw egg white is relatively negligible, there is always some risk involved. You can reduce that risk by using pasteurized egg whites or substituting aquafaba instead.
