Ingredients

Scale

Mocktail Ingredients

  • 1 cup cranberry juice (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
  • 1 cup sparkling water (or lemon-lime soda for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
  • Ice cubes

Garnishes

  • Fresh cranberries
  • Lemon or orange slices
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill your serving glass with ice cubes to chill and keep the drink refreshingly cold.
  2. Mix the Drink: In a separate container, combine the cranberry juice, sparkling water (or lemon-lime soda if you prefer a sweeter drink), and fresh lime juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors without losing the fizz.
  3. Assemble the Mocktail: Pour the cranberry mixture over the ice-filled glass, allowing the drink to stay cold and bubbly.
  4. Garnish: Add a few fresh cranberries into the drink, place a lemon or orange slice on the rim of the glass, and add fresh mint leaves if using to enhance aroma and presentation.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the cold, fizzy sparkle of your cranberry spritzer mocktail.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened cranberry juice for a tart flavor or lightly sweetened to balance the acidity.
  • Substitute sparkling water with lemon-lime soda for a sweeter, more soda-like taste.
  • Fresh lime juice enhances the citrus brightness but can be adjusted to taste.
  • Garnishes are optional but add an attractive, festive touch.
  • Serve immediately to maintain the carbonation and chill of the drink.
