Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

  • 3 cups water

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 3 clementine oranges, quartered

  • 5 maraschino cherries, or more to taste

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 2 tablespoons bitters, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan; remove from heat. Stir oranges, cherries, and cinnamon stick into sugar mixture. Cover saucepan and steep for 1 hour.

  2. Remove fruit and cinnamon stick using a slotted spoon; stir in bitters. The mixture can be refrigerated or left at room temperature.

Cook’s Note

I use old liquor or wine bottles to store the mix once it's cooled.

I usually use a little less than 2 tablespoons bitters.
