Substitute
Sometimes I like to switch things up in my Pear Cranberry Cooler Mocktail. Here’s how you can try some fun substitutes! 🍹
- Pear Juice: If you don’t have pear juice, try apple juice. It’s sweet and pairs well with cranberries.
- Cranberry Juice: Use pomegranate juice for a tart flavor or grape juice if you like it sweeter.
- Sparkling Water: Swap with ginger ale for a zesty twist or club soda if you want it less sweet.
Fresh Cranberries: If fresh cranberries are hard to find, use frozen cranberries. They work just as well in adding that cranberry taste.
