Preparation steps

Cranberry syrup

1

Rinse the cranberries under cold water and drain. In a small 1-liter saucepan, place the cranberries (100 g), add 50 g of brown sugar and 30 ml of water (about 30 g). Set the saucepan over medium heat. When it starts to gently boil (small bubbles), reduce the heat and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon – the cranberries should burst, and the mixture should become thicker and slightly glossy. After cooking, remove from heat and let sit for 3 minutes, then strain through a fine sieve, pressing with a spoon to obtain a smooth syrup. Set aside to cool slightly (to room temperature).

Ingredients: Fresh cranberry, Brown sugar
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning. If you don't have a strainer, you can use cheesecloth. The syrup should have the consistency of liquid honey after cooling; if it is too thin, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Cocktail base

2

Prepare the clementines: measure 4 pieces (400 g), rinse, peel, and remove the larger membranes. Peel and finely grate 15 g of fresh ginger (most conveniently on a fine grater), then chop the grated ginger into small pieces. In a blender jar, place the peeled clementines and grated ginger, and add 15 ml of lemon juice. Blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds until the mixture is uniform and smooth. Pour the blended mixture through a sieve into a measuring cup or pitcher, pressing with a spoon or using a spatula to separate the juice from the pulp. The resulting base should be uniform, intensely orange, and free of large fibers.

Ingredients: Clementine, Fresh ginger, Lemon juice
Use a jug or hand blender with a blade. If you don't have a blender, you can squeeze the juice by hand and grate the ginger very finely, then mix it vigorously with the juice. The pulp can be saved for pancakes or muesli.

Aquafaba foam

3

In a medium bowl, pour in 60 ml of aquafaba. If you want to use an egg as an alternative, replace the aquafaba with 60 g of fresh egg white (optional). Whip with a hand mixer on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken and forms shiny, stiff peaks. Check by lifting the whisk: the foam should form a peak that does not droop quickly. If the foam is too runny, continue whipping for another 1-2 minutes. You can add a teaspoon (about 5 g) of cranberry syrup to give the foam a slightly pink hue (this is optional).

Ingredients: Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas), Egg white (optional, alternative to aquafaba)
Use an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. The bowl should be clean and dry; metal or glass gives better results than plastic. A common mistake is adding greasy residues – the bowl and attachments must be free from fat (butter, oil).

Assembly and decoration

4

Prepare two tall, transparent glasses. Place 100 g of crushed ice (about half the amount of ice) in each glass. Divide the clementine-ginger base evenly between the glasses (it's best to use a measuring cup or pour slowly): about 180-200 ml total for both glasses, which is 90-100 ml for each (adjust the amount according to the size of the glass). Add 75 ml of sparkling water to each glass and gently stir with a teaspoon from the bottom up to avoid disturbing the color effect. Then, using a teaspoon, pour 15-20 g (ml) of the prepared cranberry syrup down the inside of the glass – the syrup will create red streaks and gentle swirls in the orange base. Finally, carefully top each glass with 1-2 heaping tablespoons of whipped aquafaba, forming a fluffy white cap. Decorate the top with one or two strips of candied orange peel (optional) or freshly grated orange zest.

Ingredients: Crushed ice, Sparkling water, Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas), Candied orange peel, Fresh cranberry
It's best to use clear, simple glasses to showcase the layers. Pour the syrup slowly using a teaspoon along the edge to create a stunning swirl. A common mistake: mixing the syrup with the base – if you want the layered effect, do not stir vigorously after adding the syrup.

Serving

5

Serve immediately while the foam is fluffy and the ice hasn't melted. Before serving, check the appearance: there should be a visible orange base with red streaks of syrup and a thick white foam on top. Serve with a small spoon or a straw, allowing the drinker to decide whether to mix the layers or enjoy them sequentially.

Ingredients: Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas), Sparkling water, Crushed ice
The foam collapses after a few minutes, so serve quickly. If the foam becomes too runny, you can refresh it a bit by whipping the aquafaba again briefly before serving.

Fun Fact

💡

Aquafaba has gained popularity as a vegan substitute for egg whites in the last decade — its foaming properties were discovered by chefs experimenting with the liquids from canned legumes.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in clear highball glasses to showcase the layers. For a more elegant effect, use a long bar spoon to layer the foam and a thinly sliced orange peel twisted on top.

🥡 Storage

The cocktail is best prepared just before serving. Store the cranberry syrup in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The fruit base (without sparkling water and foam) can be chilled for up to 24 hours; before serving, mix it and add fresh sparkling water and whip the aquafaba on site.
