About this recipe

A sparkling, ruby-red cranberry mocktail that's as beautiful as it is refreshing. Tart cranberry juice is balanced with a touch of sweetness from fresh orange juice and a hint of lime, then topped with bubbly ginger ale for a festive fizz. Perfect for holiday gatherings, dinner parties, or any occasion where you want something special without the alcohol. It comes together in minutes and looks stunning in a glass.

Instructions

1. 1

   Fill two tall glass (Large) generously with ice.

2. 2

   In a small pitcher (Large) or measuring cups, combine the cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using). Stir well to combine.

3. 3

   Pour the cranberry juice cocktail mixture evenly over the ice in each glass (Large), filling each glass about two-thirds of the way.

4. 4

   Slowly top each glass (Large) with chilled ginger ale, pouring gently down the side of the glass to preserve the fizz.

5. 5

   Give each drink a very gentle stir with a long wooden spoon — just one or two turns — to combine without losing carbonation.

6. 6

   Garnish each glass (Large) with an orange slice on the rim, a few fresh cranberries, and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
