Description
Make this easy, zero-proof cranberry spritz mocktail featuring bright cranberry and orange flavors, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice (100% juice preferred)
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 4 ounces chilled sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Orange wheel, for garnish
- Fresh rosemary sprig, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your serving glasses, such as wine glasses or highball glasses.
- In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake briefly until the mixture is cold.
- Strain the juice mixture into your chilled serving glass filled with fresh ice.
- Top the mixture with the chilled sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently once to combine.
- Garnish each drink with an orange wheel placed on the rim and a fresh rosemary sprig.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, increase the simple syrup to 1.5 teaspoons. For a tarter flavor, reduce the simple syrup or add a splash more lime juice.
- To make the drink visually appealing, you can rim the glass with sugar mixed with a little orange zest before pouring the drink.
- If you do not have sparkling water, use chilled ginger ale for a slightly spicier flavor profile.
