Ingredients

Mocktail Ingredients

  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Soda water or club soda, to top off
  • Ice cubes, for chilling
  • Fresh cranberries or lime slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to cool it, ensuring your mocktail will be served refreshingly cold.
  2. Add ingredients: Pour 1 cup of cranberry juice and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the shaker over the ice.
  3. Shake well: Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well combined and chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
  4. Strain the mixture: Strain the liquid into your preferred glass to remove excess ice and ensure a smooth drink.
  5. Top with soda: Add soda water or club soda to fill the glass, giving the mocktail a sparkling finish.
  6. Garnish and serve: Add fresh cranberries or lime slices on top for a festive and aromatic touch before serving immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute soda water with lemon-lime sparkling water for a slightly sweeter taste.
  • Adjust the amount of vanilla extract to your preference to control the aroma and sweetness.
  • For extra chill, pre-chill your glass in the freezer before serving.
  • This mocktail is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the soda’s fizz.
  • Keep fresh cranberries or lime slices on hand for garnish to enhance the presentation.
