Since switching my diet up to alkaline, I’ve done my research on what alcohol is best to have, because we all need a treat from time to time!
As it goes, there’s no such thing as a healthy alkaline alcohol, who’d have thunked it! But combing alkaline principles, with the least naughty alcohols, I decided what I can have.
SPOOKTACULAR!

I was so happy to stumble across Cranes, looking for bloggers to review their liqueur. Before replying to their request, I quickly visited their website to see what their principles were, would it be suitable for me? Oh the joy at finding that all Cranes products are “made from natural ingredients, resulting in Cranes Liqueur being gluten-free and suitable for vegans.” Cranes is a British brand, created by twin brothers Ben and Dan, with ciders and gin available too, very tasty!
I put their Cranberry and Orange Liqueur to the test, in some cocktails I made up myself, I prefer a drink I can enjoy without shuddering at the alcohol kick, so I use plenty of mixers. If you don’t like my ideas, here is 4 blends approved by the Cranes Clan!
Hobgoblin Hobgobgin
Try saying that after one of these! This is a light, spicy cocktail with a kick.
1 part Cranes Cranberry & Orange
1 part Ginger Infused Gin
2 parts Orange Juice
2 Parts Soda Water
SangriARGH
Sangria is usually made with wine, but whatever! Soak this over night for a potent potion!
1 part Cranes Cranberry & Orange
1 Part Vodka
2 Parts Cranberry Juice
2 Parts Soda Water
sliced grapes, orange wedges and strawberries
The Gin Reaper
This is fruity AF, super sweet and strong.
1 part Cranes Cranberry & Orange
1 part Pink Gin
3/4 Parts Soda Water
fresh orange wedges (squeeze them into the mix), and blueberries
How funny am I with the names? I think I am and so does my mum so that’s all that matters. Cranes drinks are available in Asda or online at Amazon and Ocado.
