    Tasting Notes

    The blend of cranberry juice adds a hint of tartness. It’s not too sharp, just enough to balance the sweetness. I love how the flavors mingle in my mouth, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.

    Here’s what stands out:

    • Citrus Brightness: Bold and tangy notes.
    • Cranberry Tartness: Subtle and balanced.
    • Minty Freshness: A hint of mint lifts the flavors.

    The finish is clean with a light fizz from the soda. It tickles my taste buds and makes the drink lively. 🍋

    Substitute

    I love switching things up with different ingredients in my Winter Citrus Punch Mocktail. 🍹 If you’re missing an ingredient or want to try something new, here’s how you can do it!

    If you’re out of oranges, use mandarins or clementines. They add a delightful sweetness.

    Want a little extra kick? Try adding a splash of sparkling water instead of plain water for some fizz!

    For a sweeter touch, honey or agave syrup works well instead of sugar.

    If you’re looking for a tart twist, swap lemons or limes with grapefruit. It adds a nice zing! 🍋

    Ginger ale can replace the ginger if you prefer something milder.

    Here’s a quick list for easy swaps:
