I like using fresh cranberry juice because it has a natural tartness. If you prefer a sweeter drink, adding more simple syrup might be your thing.

For a twist, you can swap soda water for sparkling water for a different kind of bubbly. I find garnishing with a mint leaf adds a refreshing aroma that pairs well with the lime.
