Here, the classic flavor combination of cranberry, orange, and cinnamon is complemented by the unexpected addition of cumin.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tbsp whole cumin seeds
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • 3 cups unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 2 medium organic oranges each cut into 8 wedges
  • ½ cup vodka optional
  • 3 cups sparkling water

Instructions
 

  • Add cranberries, honey, water, cumin seeds, and cinnamon sticks to a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the honey is melted and the spices are intensely fragrant.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a large glass or other non-reactive bowl. Add cranberry juice, orange wedges, and vodka, if using. Refrigerate for several hours to overnight.
  • Once thoroughly chilled, remove from refrigerator and firmly squeeze each orange wedge into the bowl to capture the juice before discarding. Strain mixture with a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids.
  • To serve, fill serving glasses with ice and add enough of the seasoned cranberry juice mixture to fill each glass about 1/3 full. Top off each glass with sparkling water and stir to combine. Taste and sweeten with additional honey, if desired. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and/or rosemary skewers and serve immediately.
