US Customary - Metric

Instructions

The first thing to do is prepare your ingredients. Get your cranberries and water ready for blending.
Add your cranberries into the blender, followed by 2 cups of water. The amount of water you put in depends on how strong you want your juice to be. Close the lid and blend the cranberries.
It is essential to check if your cranberries are blended well. If you see some bubbles on top of the mixture, let the juice sit for a few minutes, and the foam will settle.
Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth if you have it. Press the cranberries to extract all the liquid to maximize flavor and juice.
To add some extra beauty, serve your homemade cranberry juice, as you see on cocktails in fancy restaurants. Moist the rim of the glass with lemon and dip it into a fruit powder of your choice, or best if you have cranberry powder at home.

Notes

Ratio - a typical ratio is 1 cup of cranberries to 1 cup of water. Adjust the ratio for a more concentrated or milder flavor based on your taste preferences. Some add orange juice or apple juice, but I always prefer pure.
Citrus - you can enhance the flavor of your juice by adding a zest of fresh orange or lemon juice. The citrusy taste pairs with the tartness of the cranberries.
Cheesecloth - In straining the juice, it is perfect to use a cheesecloth since it removes pulp and solids, leaving you with a smoother juice.
