Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cranberry juice (chilled)
- ½ cup orange juice (chilled)
- 1 cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda (for extra sweetness)
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
- Orange slices for garnish
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine Juices and Sparkling Water: In a large pitcher, mix cranberry and orange juices. Stir well, then slowly add sparkling water or soda to keep the fizz.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill each glass with ice cubes. Pour the juice mixture over the ice, filling each glass about ¾ full.
- Garnish: Add fresh cranberries, an orange slice, and a sprig of mint to each glass. For a frosted look, rub an orange slice around the rim of the glass, then dip in sugar.
Notes
- For a sweeter spritzer, use lemon-lime soda; for a lighter option, use sparkling water.
- Prepare the juice mixture up to a day in advance, but add sparkling water just before serving.
- Frozen cranberries can be used instead of fresh ones to help keep the drink chilled.
