Method

Pour the cranberry juice into a shallow freezerproof container and freeze for about 2 hours or until a thick layer of ice crystals has formed around the edges.

Mash with a fork to break up the ice, then return the mixture to the freezer for a further 2-3 hours until almost solid.

Pour the apple juice into a small pan, add two cinnamon sticks and bring to just below boiling point. Pour into a jug (pitcher) and leave to cool, then remove the cinnamon sticks and set them aside. Chill the juice.

Spoon the cranberry ice into a food processor or blender. Add the apple juice and blend briefly until slushy. Pile into cocktail glasses, top up with chilled ginger ale and decorate with cranberries and a cinnamon stick.
