Cranberry Mule

Healthy Fact of the Day

While this is a cocktail, cranberries offer health benefits including antioxidants and compounds that support urinary health. Fresh lime adds vitamin C. Ginger may aid digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties. To make healthier, use less simple syrup or substitute with sugar-free alternatives. For a mocktail version, replace vodka with sparkling water. Consider using fresh-pressed cranberry juice instead of sweetened versions. The rosemary garnish provides beneficial oils. Remember to enjoy alcoholic beverages in moderation and stay hydrated.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
