Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cranberry juice chilled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice about ½ lime
  • 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup or agave optional, for unsweetened juice
  • 2 cups sparkling water or club soda chilled
  • Ice
  • Fresh or frozen cranberries and lime slices for garnish, optional

Method
 

  1. Stir the cranberry juice and lime juice together in a pitcher or large measuring cup. If you’re using unsweetened juice, stir in the simple syrup, then taste and add more if needed.
  2. Fill 4 glasses with ice.
  3. Divide the juice mixture among the glasses, about ½ cup each.
  4. Top each glass with about ½ cup of sparkling water and stir gently once.
  5. Garnish with cranberries and a lime slice and serve right away.

Notes

  • Add a splash of orange juice for a sweeter, citrusy version.
  • Flavored sparkling water, like lime or cranberry, adds flavor without adding sugar.
  • For an adult version, use prosecco in place of the sparkling water.
