 Here is a easy, fun, and festive Thanksgiving mocktail that you can enjoy while watching the parade or spending the day with family. Here I have used some cute fall ice cube molds that I found at Homegoods, and while there are similar ones available online you could use whatever ice cube mold you have on hand. Just fill them with some cider - I prefer to use the Spiced Cider from Trader Joe's. And lightly sprinkle each one with some edible glitter. Place in the freezer overnight. When you are ready to serve, mix some sugar and glitter on a plate to use to rim each of the glasses. Then place your cider ice cube in the glass, and fill with some more cider.  Of course, you could also use prosecco if you'd prefer a little less cider and a more bubbly cocktail option. Enjoy!  I always admire the flourish of a dried orange slice in a cocktail or mock-tail, especially during the holiday season. They can also be a great way to dress up a sparkling water or an iced tea year-round.
The challenge is that they can often be hard to find in the store, and when you do find them they can be expensive. This recipe is incredibly easy and lets you make them en masse to have on hand. This was so easy that I even made a tray or oranges and a tray of limes at the same time. One note: do not use naval oranges or you won't get that pretty pinwheel shape when you slice them. A regular Florida orange works best. Enjoy! Dehydrated Orange Cocktail Garnish INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION: Step 1: Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F Step 2: Slice the orange(s) thinly: 1/4" to 1/8" (slice crosswise for the desired effect) Step 3: Line the cookie tray with the parchment paper, and place the slices on the paper so that the slices are not touching. Step 4: Bake the slices for 2 hours, flipping the slices every 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely and confirm that they are dry and brittle before closing in a container for storage. |
