Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cranberry juice (100% juice or blend)
- 2 cups ginger ale or ginger beer (non-alcoholic)
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
- Lime slices or wheels for garnish
- Fresh ginger slices for garnish
Instructions
- Chill all liquids thoroughly before mixing.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cranberry juice and fresh lime juice.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in the maple syrup until dissolved.
- Just before serving, gently add the chilled ginger ale and sparkling water to the pitcher. Stir very gently to combine, avoiding loss of fizz.
- Fill individual glasses with ice.
- Pour the mocktail mixture into the glasses.
- Garnish each glass with a few fresh cranberries, a lime slice, and a thin slice of fresh ginger.
Notes
- For an extra ginger kick, you can muddle a few thin slices of fresh ginger in the bottom of the pitcher before adding liquids.
- Taste the cranberry juice first; if it is already sweet, omit the maple syrup.
- You can substitute ginger ale with a low-sugar ginger beer for a sharper bite.
