Ingredients
-
⅔ cup (160 ml) cranberry juice – 100 % juice for tartness or cranberry cocktail for extra sweetness
-
⅓ cup (80 ml) Sprite / lemon-lime soda – regular, Zero, or Diet
-
Ice cubes – enough to fill ½ the glass
-
Optional garnishes: 1 rosemary sprig, a few fresh cranberries, lime wheel, or mint
Instructions
-
Fill a tall glass halfway with ice. Chilled ingredients = maximum fizz.
-
Pour in the cranberry juice.
-
Slowly top with Sprite so the bubbles stay lively.
-
Gently stir once or twice—just enough to marry the flavors without flattening the soda.
-
Garnish with rosemary, cranberries, or lime. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
-
Batch prep: Combine cranberry juice in a pitcher; let guests add Sprite to each glass for peak fizz.
-
Sugar-free option: Swap regular Sprite for Sprite Zero and use unsweetened cranberry juice.
-
Make it fancy: Rim glasses with lime juice and coarse sugar, or drop in a scoop of lime sherbet for kids’ parties.
-
Leftovers: Juice component keeps 2 days in the fridge; add soda only at serving time or it will go flat.
