Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup carbonated water (such as club soda or sparkling water)
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1–2 fresh limes, juiced (plus extra slices for garnish)

Additional Ingredients

  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh cranberries (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Fill Glasses with Ice: Fill each serving glass halfway with ice cubes to keep the mocktail chilled.
  2. Mix Main Ingredients: In a pitcher, combine the cranberry juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir thoroughly to blend the flavors harmoniously.
  3. Add Carbonation: Just prior to serving, gently pour in the carbonated water to the mixture. Stir carefully to maintain the fizz and bubbles.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Pour the mocktail into the prepared glasses. Garnish each glass with fresh cranberries, a slice of lime, and a sprig of mint for a festive touch.
  5. Enjoy Immediately: Serve the mocktail immediately to enjoy its refreshing chilled and bubbly texture.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to your taste preferences.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best zesty flavor rather than bottled lime juice.
  • Garnishes like fresh cranberries and mint leaves not only add visual appeal but also introduce subtle fresh aromas.
  • Serve promptly after adding carbonated water to preserve the fizz.
  • This mocktail can easily be scaled up for larger groups by maintaining the ingredient ratios.
