Keto Orange Vodka Cranberry Spritzers are gorgeous as they are delicious and great to serve up after a big holiday meal or as a light option for your holiday cocktail party.
In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sweetener, water, orange peel and clove. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and simmer 10-15 minutes or until thickened, stirring often and breaking up the cranberries as the mixture cooks.
Strain the cranberry mixture into a bowl using a mesh strainer and set aside to cool. At this point the cranberry gel can be refrigerated for later.

In a glass, combine 2 tablespoons of the cranberry gel with about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 ½ oz. of vodka. Stir to combine. Pour in 4-6 oz. of sparkling water and stir. Finish with ice and garnish with a few cranberries and orange peel.
To Prepare the Orange Cranberry Vodka Spritzer by the Pitcher
