    Tips & Tricks

    Making a cranberry spice mocktail is fun and easy! Here are my favorite tips to make it even better:

    • Chill your ingredients: It’s so much more refreshing when everything is cold.
    • Fresh cranberries for garnish: They add a pop of color and a festive touch. 🎉

    If you want a bit more spice, consider using cinnamon sticks as stirrers. Not only do they look great, but they also add more flavor.

    Mixing in a splash of orange juice can give it a brighter taste. It pairs really well with the cranberries.

    For a bubbly twist, try topping your mocktail with a little sparkling water. It adds fizz and fun. ✨

    Here’s a quick way to rim your glass: Use a lemon wedge to wet the rim, then dip it in a mix of sugar and cinnamon. Sweet and spicy!

    Feel free to experiment with the spices. A little ginger or nutmeg can turn up the flavor.
