Cranberry-Lime Apple Spritzer

Zest a lime: To remove the lime zest (the thin, colored portion of the peel), use a vegetable peeler to take it off in strips. Try to get just the zest portion, because that’s where all of the flavor is.

Juice 5 limes.

In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, apple juice, honey, and lime zest. Bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer and cook until the berries have all popped, about 15 minutes.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pushing on the berries to extract as much liquid as possible.

Let cool to room temperature, then transfer the cranberry-lime juice to a jar or juice container with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the lime juice and shake to combine.

Store in the refrigerator.

Makes five cups juice.

For one spritzer: Spoon ¼ cup of cranberry-lime juice into a tall glass and add ½ cup chilled seltzer.

Add ice if desired. Add flavoring to mix and shake well.
