Ingredients
For the beverage:
- 1 ounce peppermint-flavored syrup such as Monin for dependable flavor
- Cranberry ginger ale enough to fill the glass
- 1 cup finely crushed ice
For the garnish:
- 1 fresh mint sprig for a fragrant festive accent
- 1 candy cane
Instructions
- Begin with a clean serving glass. Measure 1 ounce of peppermint simple syrup and pour it directly into the bottom, forming the flavorful base of the beverage.
- Add the crushed ice to the glass until filled. The ice rapidly chills the beverage while providing a crisp, refreshing texture.
- Slowly pour cranberry ginger ale over the crushed ice until the glass is full. As it is added, the sparkling ginger ale blends with the peppermint syrup to produce the distinctive holiday flavor.
- Complete the drink with a candy cane and a sprig of fresh pine for a decorative seasonal presentation and added holiday character.
- Serve the Peppermint Cranberry Ginger Ale immediately while thoroughly chilled and sparkling.
