Cranberry drink is a traditional Russian treat filled with the freshness of northern berries and the warming aroma of spices. Cranberries, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, combined with cinnamon, cloves, and star anise create a harmonious balance of sweetness and slight tartness. This drink warms on cold winter evenings, providing comfort and vitality. Historically, cranberry mors was a favorite drink in Russian homes known for its healing properties. It is consumed as a refreshing cool drink in summer and as a warming infusion in cold weather. The rich flavor unfolds gradually: first the spices are felt, then the slight tartness of cranberries, and finally the pleasant sweetness of syrup remains. An ideal option for evening relaxation or cozy family tea time.
