Cranberry Ginger Twist Mocktail Recipe
I love a refreshing Cranberry Ginger Twist Mocktail, especially for a fun gathering. 🍹 It's zesty and easy to make, using simple tools and great ingredients.
Equipment
- I use a shaker to mix everything smoothly. It’s easy to find one at a kitchen store if you don’t have it.
- Also, a measuring cup or jigger helps me get the right amounts.
- Don’t forget a stirring spoon and a strainer too. These help in mixing and pouring the mocktail into the glass cleanly.
- Finally, I use a serving glass, like a tall highball glass or any favorite that feels right for a fancy drink.
Ingredients
Gathering fresh, good-quality items makes this mocktail taste amazing. Here's what I use:
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/4 cup ginger ale
- 1 tbsp lime juice for that zesty kick
- Ice cubes for chilling
- Fresh cranberry and lime wheel for garnish
These ingredients are easy to find in most stores. I like using unsweetened cranberry juice for a natural flavor. The ginger ale adds a nice bubbly twist!
Instructions
Making this mocktail is super simple. Here’s how I do it:
- Fill the shaker with ice to chill the mixture.
- Add cranberry juice, ginger ale, and lime juice to the shaker.
- Shake well, mixing everything until it’s cold and combined.
- Use the strainer to pour the drink into a chilled glass.
- Garnish with fresh cranberry and lime wheel on top.
Enjoy your drink right away because it tastes best when it’s super cold. It's refreshing and perfect for any event.
Notes
A few tricks I use make this mocktail extra special.
For a sweeter touch, I sometimes add a bit of simple syrup. You can adjust the lime juice if you like it more or less sour. 🍋 Experiment with other garnishes, like mint leaves, for added freshness and aroma.
For a festive look, I serve this drink in a pretty glass with colorful straws. Remember to chill all liquids beforehand to enhance the coldness. Let me know how your mocktail turns out, and feel free to share your tips!
