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.
