Cranberry Sparkler combines Cranberry Juice, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, and Sparkling Water in a crisp zero-proof highball. Cranberry supplies tart fruit and color, lime sharpens the profile, and the measured sparkling-water pour keeps the drink light.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

  • Cranberry Juice - tart fruit and color.
  • Lime Juice - fresh acidity.
  • Simple Syrup - measured sweetness.
  • Sparkling Water - carbonation and length.

Equipment

  • Mason Jar or tall glass
  • Jigger
  • Bar spoon

Tart Fruit Needs Only a Little Sweetness

The half-ounce syrup smooths the cranberry without turning it into a soda-like drink. Three and a half ounces of sparkling water keep the finish dry enough to stay refreshing.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Use pomegranate juice for a darker fruit profile.
  • Replace sparkling water with ginger ale for a sweeter, spicier version.
  • Add mint or rosemary for aroma.

Helpful Tips

  • Chill all ingredients before building.
  • Add Sparkling Water last.
  • Stir only once or twice.
  • Adjust syrup only after tasting the Cranberry Juice.
