Notes
Fresh cranberries are best. If you only have frozen, just let them thaw first.
Adjust the maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet drink.
Soda water is key. It balances out the sweetness and gives a nice fizz.
You can always experiment with garnishes or add more lime if you fancy a zestier kick.
