Ingredients
Mocktail Base
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup vanilla syrup (or simple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Additional
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Red sprinkles or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients: Add the cranberry juice, cocoa powder, vanilla syrup, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined, ensuring the cocoa powder is fully incorporated.
- Chill in shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour the blended mixture over the ice. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the drink is well chilled and slightly frothy.
- Strain into glasses: Strain the mocktail evenly into two martini glasses to remove ice shards and create a smooth texture.
- Garnish and serve: Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with red sprinkles or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly mocktail.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of vanilla or simple syrup to taste.
- For a stronger chocolate flavor, sift the cocoa powder before blending to avoid clumps.
- The whipped cream garnish can be replaced with coconut whipped cream for dairy-free variation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
