Cranberry Orange Spritzers Cocktail Recipe
This refreshing drink combines the tangy flavors of cranberry and orange with bubbly soda. It’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- Tall glasses
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- A large spoon or stirrer
- Ice cube tray
- Citrus juicer (optional)
Ingredients
For 4 servings, gather:
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1 cup fresh orange juice about 3-4 oranges
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur
- 2 cups club soda or sparkling water
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Orange slices and fresh cranberries for garnish
Use 100% cranberry juice for a tart flavor, or cranberry cocktail for a sweeter taste. Fresh orange juice gives the best flavor, but store-bought works too.
Instructions
Fill 4 tall glasses with ice cubes.
In each glass, add:
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- Stir the juices and syrup gently.
- Top each glass with 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water.
- Stir lightly to mix.
- Garnish with orange slices and fresh cranberries.
Serve right away while the drinks are cold and bubbly.
Notes
Make it boozy: Add 1 ounce of vodka or gin to each glass before the soda.
For a sweeter drink, use more simple syrup.
Try different juices like grapefruit or pomegranate for variety.
Make a big batch in a pitcher, but add the soda just before serving to keep it fizzy.
Use frozen cranberries as ice cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down.
