2 cupsfrozen cranberries; plus 1/2 cup for garnish

1/4 cupSugar

2 tablespoonsOrange juice

1 teaspoonorange zest

2 bottleMartinelli's Sparkling Cider

Non-alcoholic Cranberry 'kir Royale' Recipe Preparation

Add cranberries, orange juice, zest and sugar to a large pan and set over medium heat until berries break-down slightly and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes.

*Pour into a blender and process, be careful of the hot liquid expanding when you blend - use a towel over the top of the blender.

Strain and discard any solids then set aside and cool.

Pour 1 tablespoons of cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 8 chilled champagne glasses.

Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with sparkling cider.

Notes

*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
