Audacia Elixirs' Cranberry Express

Bottoms Up
Dec. 23, 2023

Who among us is considering dry January? (Or just taking a night off from the hard stuff this holiday season?) Audacia Elixirs of Traverse City was founded to create elevated non-alcoholic beverages you really want to savor. They crafted a recipe just for us at Northern Express so you can sip this bad boy all winter break long. Add 2 oz Ambrosia (Floral Berry) Elixir, 2 oz sparkling cranberry, and 1/2 oz orange juice to a shaker or a mason jar with a scoop of ice. Shake well—dancing helps!—and pour everything (including ice, unless you prefer it neat) into your favorite rocks, martini, or wine glass. Garnish with an orange peel or rosemary sprig to be extra fancy! Find local stores carrying Audacia’s Ambrosia Elixir ($25) at audaciaelixirs.com/locations or order a bottle from their online shop.
