Mocktail Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Soda water or club soda, to top
- Ice cubes
- Fresh cranberries or lime slices for garnish
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Fill the shaker with ice cubes. Add plenty of ice to chill the mixture effectively.
- Add cranberry juice and vanilla extract. Pour in 1 cup of cranberry juice and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the shaker.
- Shake well until mixed and chilled. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously to combine and chill all ingredients.
- Strain into your glass. Pour the cold mixture through a strainer into a serving glass to remove ice.
- Top with soda water. Add soda water or club soda to fill the glass, leaving some space at the top for garnish.
- Garnish and serve. Decorate with fresh cranberries or lime slices, and add a sprig of mint if desired for an extra touch of freshness.
Notes
- Use chilled cranberry juice for a colder drink without watering it down.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla extract to taste for a more or less pronounced flavor.
- Soda water can be substituted with lemon-lime soda for a sweeter version.
- The mocktail is best served immediately to maintain the fizzy sparkle of soda water.
- Mint leaves add a refreshing aroma and flavor if included.
