Description

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blood orange juice
  • 1/2 cup cranberry juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup (natural)
  • 3/4 cup sparkling water
  • Ice cubes

Garnish

  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Thin blood orange slices (optional)
  • Whole cranberries (optional)

Optional Enhancements

  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger or ginger syrup (natural)
  • Thin cucumber slices
  • Basil or rosemary sprigs
  • Maple syrup (natural) or date syrup as alternative sweetener
  • Pomegranate arils or a splash of grape juice
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Citrus Base: Juice fresh blood oranges until you have about one cup of vibrant juice. The freshness of this juice is essential to a bright and tangy foundation for your mocktail.
  2. Mix Cranberry Juice and Sweetener: Pour a half cup of cranberry juice into a mixing jug. Whisk in honey or agave syrup (natural) until fully dissolved, balancing tartness with natural sweetness.
  3. Combine and Chill: Add the blood orange juice to the cranberry mixture, stirring well. Add a few ice cubes to cool the blend and refresh the drink.
  4. Add Sparkling Water and Garnish: Top off your mixture with sparkling water to create lively bubbles. Stir gently, then garnish with fresh mint leaves, and optionally add thin blood orange slices or whole cranberries for a colorful presentation.

Notes

  • Choose ripe blood oranges for sweeter and deeper color.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to maintain balance.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand to avoid excess ice dilution.
  • Use fresh herbs like mint for best aroma and flavor.
  • Serve immediately after adding sparkling water to preserve its fizz.
