Preparation
In a bowl, beat Mascarpone with cream and sugar. Add cranberry sauce or jam. Divide preparation into 14 cubes of an ice cube tray (freeze for at least 2 hours).
Place a cube in each glass. Add chosen liquid to fill glass, leaving a little space (foam will be forming on top). Let cubes melt and stand for about 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
Plan for the size of your glasses before making ice cubes. If they are narrow, make smaller ice cubes. The float is also delicious with a sweet sparkling hard cider.
