Holiday season in the air. My local grocery stores have put out magazines featuring recipes for the holiday season. I have been browsing through the editions for some inspiration and when planning the Thanksgiving menu for this year the recipe for the cranberry mocktail caught my eye.<\/p>\n

This year Kuttyma actually understood what Thanksgiving was about. Being a working day I was not ready to pull out all stops for Thanksgiving dinner. I wanted to make something simple yet related to the holiday.<\/p>\n

Drinks I found make or break the meal. They add pizazz to an ordinary dinner. For our Thanksgiving dinner I made 2 drinks – the Cranberry Mocktail and the Sunshine. Both recipes came the Woolworths Fresh magazine.<\/p>\n

The main course was butternut squash pasta with goat cheese, mushrooms and turkey (inspired from here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Cranberry Mocktail<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Makes 1)<\/p>\n

4 mint leaves<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon lemon juice<\/p>\n

1 can sparkling cranberry juice (plain cranberry juice will also work)<\/p>\n

3-4 cubes of ice<\/p>\n

To rim the glass – dip the glass in lemon juice and then dip in sugar crystals on a plate.<\/p>\n

Tear\/crush the mint leaves and add it to the bottom of the glass. Add the ice, lemon juice and cranberry juice.<\/p>\n

Serve up the holiday cheer!<\/p>\n

The Sunshine<\/strong><\/p>\n

(makes 1)<\/p>\n

3-4 small pieces of pineapple<\/p>\n

1\/2 kiwi fruit cut into tiny pieces<\/p>\n

Lime soda (this usually is sugar free but sprite or plain soda water will work in a pinch)<\/p>\n

Add the fruit to the serving glass. Crush it a bit. Top off with the soda. Add few ice cubes and drink up.<\/p>\n
