Notes

  • Adjust the simple syrup based on how sweet your cranberry juice is and how tart you like your mocktail.
  • For extra flavor, muddle a few mint leaves in the glass before adding the drink.
  • For make-ahead prep, mix the cranberry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup in advance. Add carbonated water right before serving.
