Cranberry spritzer is one of my favorite drinks for the holidays. It is non alcoholic and infused with cinnamon sticks and orange. 

This recipe is made three days in advanced so all the flavors can meld together. Because it sits in the fridge for 72 hours the cinnamon and orange infuse the cranberry juice and the taste intensifies.

How to serve cranberry orange spritzer:

I serve this cranberry orange spritzer in champagne flutes for a fun and festive drink. You can add a cinnamon stick to the glass as a fun garnish or garnish with an orange twist. 

Cold or hot:

You can serve this drink cold or hot. If you want to serve this hot, skip the sparkling water at the end. You will warm the cranberry drink over the stovetop for 5 minutes or heat in the crockpot on low for 5 hours. 

The crockpot works wonders for large gatherings and will keep the drink warm so your guests can enjoy a nice warm cup of cranberry cider.
