Description
A bright, alcohol-free festive drink combining cranberry, orange, and pineapple juices with a hint of lime and natural sweetener, finished with sparkling water for a cheerful holiday sip.
Ingredients
2 cups 100% cranberry juice (unsweetened)
1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (no pulp)
½ cup pineapple juice
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
¼ cup maple syrup or honey (to taste)
1 cup sparkling water or club soda
Ice cubes
Garnish: fresh cranberries, orange slices, rosemary sprigs
Instructions
In a large pitcher, stir together cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice.
Add maple syrup (or honey) and stir until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness.
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Just before serving, pour in sparkling water and stir gently.
Fill glasses with ice, pour the mocktail, and garnish each with cranberries, an orange slice, and a rosemary sprig.
Notes
For extra chill without dilution, freeze some juice into ice cubes ahead of time.
To rim glasses: moisten rims with lime, then dip in superfine sugar or coarse salt.
Make a large batch for parties by multiplying ingredient ratios.
