Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Jigger or measuring cup, mixing spoon, glass, and straw (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 3 oz cranberry juice preferably 100% juice with no added sugar
  • 3 oz orange juice freshly squeezed is best for flavor
  • 3 oz sparkling water or club soda for that fizzy touch
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Orange slices for garnish
  • Fresh cranberries for garnish, optional
  • Mint leaves optional, for garnish and added flavor

Instructions
 

  • Instructions
  • Prepare the Glass:
  • Start by filling a glass with ice cubes. This will keep your drink nice and chilled.
  • Mix the Juices:
  • In a separate measuring cup or shaker, combine 3 oz of cranberry juice and 3 oz of orange juice. Stir gently to mix.
  • Combine with Sparkling Water:
  • Pour the juice mixture over the ice-filled glass. Then, slowly add 3 oz of sparkling water or club soda. This step adds a delightful fizz to your spritzer.
  • Garnish:
  • Top your drink with fresh orange slices, cranberries, and mint leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
  • Serve:
  • Give it a gentle stir to mix the ingredients, and serve immediately. Let me show you how I make it: you can use a straw for easy sipping or just enjoy it straight from the glass.
  • Variations
  • For a Boozy Option: Add 1 oz of vodka or rum for an adult twist on this spritzer.
  • Herbal Infusion: Infuse your drink with fresh herbs like basil or thyme for a unique flavor.
  • Fruit Variations: Swap cranberry juice for pomegranate juice or add a splash of grapefruit juice for a tangy kick.
  • Low-Calorie Option: Use diet cranberry juice and sparkling water to reduce calories without losing flavor.
