    Tips & Tricks

    Here’s how I make the perfect Cranberry Kiss Mocktail every time! 🍹

    1. Chill the Glass: I love to serve this mocktail cold. I always chill the glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before preparing the drink.
    2. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cranberry juice makes a big difference in flavor. 🍒 If possible, I choose fresh over boxed or canned juice.
    3. Garnish Creatively: Adding a slice of lime or a handful of fresh cranberries on top not only makes it look pretty, but it also adds a nice twist to the taste.
    4. Adjust Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, add a bit of honey or agave syrup. I sometimes add a dash if I’m in the mood for a sweeter drink. 🌟
    5. Mix Gently: When combining the ingredients, stir gently to keep the beautiful color and ensure it doesn’t become too fizzy.
    6. Try Different Rims: For a fun touch, I sometimes rim the glass with sugar or salt. It adds extra flair and flavor! 🎉
    7. Experiment with Ice: Sometimes, I use ice cubes made from cranberry juice to keep the mocktail from watering down.
