Cranberry Lime Fizz Mocktail Recipe
I'm excited to share a crisp and refreshing drink that's perfect for any occasion. This Cranberry Lime Fizz Mocktail is easy to make and sure to impress. Let's dive right into the essentials you'll need to mix up this treat. 🍹
Equipment
- A cocktail shaker is a must for mixing the ingredients evenly. If you don't have one, a sturdy jar with a lid will work.
- A muddler helps crush the lime and release its juices. If you don't have a muddler,
- The back of a spoon works in a pinch.
- Make sure to have a strainer to keep out any pulp or seeds when pouring.
- Finally, a tall glass for serving this fizzy delight is essential.
Ingredients
Here's what I use to create this mocktail:
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 1 lime sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- Ice cubes
- Fresh cranberries and lime wedges for garnish
The cranberry juice gives a rich, fruity base, while the club soda adds fizz. Lime juice and sugar balance the flavors. Have some fun with garnishes for an extra touch!
Instructions
- Start by preparing the lime. Squeeze the lime slices into the shaker, then add them in.
- Add the sugar or honey and gently muddle to mix well with the lime.
- Pour the cranberry juice into the shaker.
- Add ice cubes up to three-quarters of the shaker.
- Secure the lid and shake well until everything is chilled. This takes about 20 seconds.
- Strain the mix into a tall glass filled with ice.
- Top with club soda for that refreshing fizz.
- Garnish with a few cranberries and a lime wedge on the side.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. I sometimes use honey for a different taste. 🌿 You can switch out club soda with tonic water if you like a slightly bitter edge.
This mocktail is also fantastic when used as a base. Try adding a splash of orange juice or different fruit garnishes. It's a versatile recipe that's simple to adapt.
