Ingredients
Scale
Liquids:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cranberry juice (unsweetened or sweetened)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sparkling water or club soda
Sweeteners:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) simple syrup or honey
Garnishes:
- Ice cubes or crushed ice
- Fresh cranberries
- Lime slices
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Chill two serving glasses by filling them with crushed or cubed ice to create a frosty foundation for the mocktail.
- Craft the flavor base by whisking together tart cranberry juice, zesty fresh lime juice, and sweet simple syrup or honey in a mixing vessel until thoroughly integrated.
- Carefully distribute the vibrant crimson-tinted liquid evenly between the prepared glasses, ensuring balanced flavor distribution.
- Elevate the beverage’s effervescence by gently pouring sparkling water or club soda over the juice mixture, creating a delightful fizzy texture.
- Enhance the visual appeal and aromatic profile by adorning each glass with vibrant fresh cranberries, delicate lime slice rounds, and an optional verdant mint sprig for a sophisticated finishing touch.
- Serve the chilled mocktail immediately to preserve its crisp, refreshing qualities and maximum carbonation.
Notes
- Swap honey with agave nectar or maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version that keeps the sweet balance.
- Crush fresh cranberries slightly before adding to release more intense flavor and natural sweetness into the mocktail.
- Use frozen cranberries instead of fresh ones to keep the drink extra cold without diluting the flavor, acting as natural ice cubes.
- For a more sophisticated twist, muddle fresh mint leaves in the base mixture to enhance the herbal undertones and create a more complex drink profile.
