A strainer is useful to remove any unwanted bits from the cranberry mixture.
Grab a wooden spoon to stir everything while it heats up. It's important for even mixing.
You'll also want a measuring cup for accuracy.
Don’t forget a mug or a nice heat-resistant glass to serve your delicious drink.
Keep some ice cubes ready if you'd like a chilled option later on.

2 cups of cranberry juice
1/2 cup of orange juice
1/4 cup of fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons of sugar or to taste
1 cup of sparkling water
Cranberries and orange slices for garnish
I like to add a sprig of fresh mint for extra flavor. It’s optional but really adds a nice touch! 🍊

Combine the cranberry, orange, and lime juices in the saucepan. Add the sugar and stir well.
Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir until the sugar melts completely.
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, strain to remove any fruit pieces.
Pour into a mug or heat-resistant glass. Add a splash of sparkling water for some fizz. 🥂
Garnish with cranberries, orange slices, and fresh mint if desired.

Make sure the juices are fresh for the best flavor. Fresh ingredients make a big difference.

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar.

Feel free to experiment with different garnishes like pomegranate seeds or cinnamon sticks.

This mocktail is great for parties or just a cozy night in. Let me know how yours turns out; I’d love to hear your variations! 😊
