Serving Size

Equipment

To make this mocktail, you’ll need a shaker, muddler, and measuring cups.
A strainer is useful if you like clear drinks without bits of fruit or ice.
Make sure to have a pretty glass to serve your creation, because presentation is everything! I recommend a tall glass to show off the lovely colors. 🍹

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup cranberry juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Soda water or club soda
Ice cubes
Fresh cranberries or lime slices for garnish

Optional add-ins: Fresh mint leaves or a dash of lemon juice for extra zest.

Instructions

Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

Add cranberry juice and vanilla extract.
Shake well until mixed and chilled.
Strain into your glass.
Top with soda water, leaving a bit of room for garnish.

I like to garnish with cranberries or lime slices. Add mint if you’re feeling fancy!

Stir gently, sip, and enjoy! 🌟

Notes

Feeling creative? Try swapping the vanilla extract with a splash of almond or rose water for a twist. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less juice, depending on your taste preference.

Quick tip: For a richer flavor, let the mocktail sit for a few minutes so the ingredients can blend together perfectly. How do you like your mocktail? Tell me in the comments!
