Hello, welcome to my kitchen. I'm Elisabeth, food editor at Freund. I love delicious food and I like trying new recipes. Recently, every week I've been inviting you to visit me in my kitchen - or take a look at my foodie inspiration folder (yes, it's real) - and share my recipe of the week with you. Be it a quick everyday meal after work, a delicious cake for the weekend, an innovative creation or a brand new food trend that I just discovered.
Recipe of the week: My favorite drinks for toasting
A delicious oneIt's simply a part of the holidays - it can sometimes be with or without alcohol. But there is one ingredient that cannot be missing for me during the holidays:Cranberrysaft. Somehow the dark, bright red (which often turns heavenly pink in drinks) has something wintry and festive to me - perfect for. My absolute favorite in the glass: theCosmopolitan. The drink not only looks great, it is also perfectly balanced. It combines aromatic, slightly bitter cranberry juice with fresh lime juice, clean vodka and sweet Cointreau. Wonderful!

But even if you can't drink alcohol - or don't want to - you don't have to go without delicious drinks. Because with the right ingredients you can succeedadult mocktailsthat doesn't followor soda, but can compete in taste with real cocktails. Here too I have brought you a variant - another one withCranberrysaft. Because this is made with lime juice, bitter lemon and a shotcombined, one is createdsparkling, aromatic drink– without any alcohol, but with a lot of taste.
And on that note: Cheers & a happy new year!
