Mocktail Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 1 lime (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- Ice cubes
- Fresh cranberries and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Lime: Start by squeezing the lime slices into the shaker to release their juice, then add the slices into the shaker for extra flavor.
- Add Sweetener: Add the sugar or honey to the shaker and gently muddle the lime and sweetener together to mix well and release more lime oils, enhancing the flavor.
- Add Cranberry Juice: Pour the cranberry juice into the shaker with the muddled lime mixture.
- Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes up to three-quarters full to chill the drink properly.
- Shake the Mixture: Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake well for about 20 seconds until the ingredients are well chilled and blended.
- Strain into Glass: Strain the mixed liquid into a tall glass filled with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cold without diluting it immediately.
- Add Club Soda: Top off the glass with 1/2 cup of club soda to add a refreshing fizzy texture and lighten the drink.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish your mocktail with a few fresh cranberries and a lime wedge on the side for an attractive presentation and extra zest.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with sugar according to your preference for sweetness.
- Fresh cranberries can be frozen ahead of time to keep them firm and cold for garnish.
- Adjust the amount of sugar or honey to your taste to control sweetness.
- Use sparkling water if club soda is not available.
- This mocktail is best enjoyed immediately while fizzy and chilled.
