  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cranberry juice (100% juice recommended)

  • ½ cup orange juice (fresh-squeezed or bottled)

  • ½ cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda

  • Fresh cranberries or orange slices, for garnish (optional)

  • Sugar (for rimming glass, optional)

Instructions

  1. Rub an orange wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip in sugar for a sparkling rim (optional).

  2. Add cranberry juice and orange juice to your glass.

  3. Top with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Gently stir once to mix.

Notes

  • Make a “Cranberry Sunrise” by pouring orange juice first, then slowly adding cranberry juice for a layered effect.

  • For less sweetness, use sparkling water instead of soda and/or a squeeze of fresh lime.

  • Chill juices and soda before mixing for maximum fizz and refreshment.

  • Batch-friendly: Combine juices in advance and add soda just before serving.

  • Leftover juice blend can be frozen into ice cubes for future drinks.
