Ingredients

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
4 whole allspice berries, crushed
1/4 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
Ice cubes
8 fluid ounces ginger beer
2 fluid ounces club soda

Directions

Add the vinegar, water, and sugar to a saucepan and warm over medium-high heat.
Stir in the cranberries, cardamom, allspice, and cinnamon, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Cover the pot and continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cranberries start to burst.
Stir gently, reduce the heat, and let the mixture simmer until the sugar is fully dissolved and the cranberries have released their juices, about 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture rest for 15 minutes to deepen the flavors.
Strain the liquid into a clean container, seal it, and refrigerate until chilled.
To prepare each mocktail, fill a glass halfway with ice. Add 1 fluid ounce of the cranberry mixture, 4 fluid ounces of ginger beer, and 1 fluid ounce of club soda.
Stir gently and serve right away.
