Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Tall glass or tumbler
  • Jigger or measuring spoons
  • Bar spoon
  • Citrus juicer (optional)
  • Strainer

Ingredients

  • 2 oz cranberry juice 100% juice is best
  • 1.5 oz vodka
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1/2 oz honey or to taste
  • ice cubes
  • 2-3 oz sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
  • 1 oz ginger ale
  • fresh cranberries for garnish
  • orange slices for garnish
  • fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Add cranberry juice, orange juice, lime juice, and honey to a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Shake until the honey dissolves and the mix is nice and chilled.
  • Strain into a tall glass packed with fresh ice cubes.
  • Top with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda and ginger ale.
  • Give it a gentle stir.
  • Garnish with cranberries, orange slices, and mint if desired. Serve immediately while bubbly and cold.

Notes

Add vodka or gin for a spiked version. Swap agave for honey to make it vegan. Multiply for a pitcher—add bubbly just before serving. Taste and adjust honey and lime to preference. Freeze cranberries for 'ice cube' garnish.
