    Apple Cider Vinegar And Cranberry Juice

    This apple cider and cranberry juice drink made with fresh orange juice and spices is both refreshing and healthy for a quick and easy detox.

    Apple cider vinegar with mint next to half orange.

    After the many culinary delights of the festive season we think this apple cider vinegar and cranberry juice is a wonderful way to detox.

    We created a most delicious and refreshing drink using apple cider vinegar we think you will love, packed with healthy ingredients.

    It is not advisable to drink apple cider vinegar neat (its far too acidic and would burn your throat and stomach), and a vinegar drink may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but we think this ones a winner. Why?

    Freshly squeezed orange juice is always refreshing, maple syrup because the drink would be too tart and then you have the comforting spices – cinnamon, star anise and warmth from a little black pepper (thats optional).

    Shaken or stirred, the combination of all these ingredients make for a most delicious apple cider vinegar drink!

    You may want to slurp it down immediately but if you can wait, we strongly recommend covering and setting it aside for an hour or chilling it to give those wonderful flavours time to come together.

    Then stir and enjoy!

    You may like our cranberry mocktail and blueberry and blackcurrant mule, which are both refreshing and go nicely with a bowl of honey roasted pecans, or if you want something to warm you through we suggest our Indian masala tea.

    Ingredients

    These are the ingredients you will need:

    • cranberry juice – use an unsweetened variety such as Ocean Spray No Added Sugar.
    • orange juice – use freshly squeezed for best flavour and more vitamin C
    • apple cider vinegar – select a good quality apple cider vinegar which also contains the ‘Mother’. We use OSU’s Apple Cider Vinegar.
    • spices – cinnamon adds a festive flavour, plus the star anise and some freshly crushed black pepper are optional extras.

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Use a pestle and mortar to crush the ginger and squeeze an orange for fresh orange juice.

    Pestle and mortar and freshly squeezed orange juice.

    Add all the ingredients except maple syrup, star anise, black pepper and mint to a mixer and shake.

    Pour into a glass straining away the ginger, ice and bits of orange.

    Stir in the maple syrup, add the star anise and black pepper, a sprig of mint and serve.

    If you don’t have a mixer, add the ingredients to a glass and stir, removing the ice before serving (it may dilute the flavours too much, but if you prefer you can keep the ice in).

    Serving

    You will need a glass for 300 mls or 10.5 fl oz.

    Serve with star anise, a pinch of freshly crushed black pepper and sprig of fresh mint.

    Make ahead and storing

    This drink tastes even better when made 1 hour ahead giving time for the flavours to come together. Cover and set aside or keep chilled in the fridge till ready to serve.

      Can I use just ACV and cranberry juice? Does it have to have the other ingredients to be beneficial? Thank you.

        Hi Jodie, you would get the benefits of the acv and cranberry but we recommend adding the other ingredients to make a great tasting mocktail.
