  • Glasses: Tall, sturdy glasses for serving.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 large orange juiced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 3-4 tablespoons honey adjust to your taste
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Base Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sparkling water chilled
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional Add-Ons:
  • 1/4 cup vodka if you want to make it boozy
  • Orange zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preparing the Cranberry Syrup
  • Cook the Cranberries: In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries with 1/2 cup of water. Cook on medium heat until the cranberries start to burst open, roughly 5 minutes.
  • Sweeten it Up: Add 3-4 tablespoons of honey into the cranberry mixture. Stir until well-combined, and let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Blend and Strain: Transfer the cranberry mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids, leaving you with a smooth cranberry syrup.
  • Step 2: Creating the Citrus Base
  • Juice the Citrus: Squeeze the juices from the orange and lemon into a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine: Pour the cranberry syrup into the citrus juice. Mix well to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed.
  • Step 3: Assembling the Drink
  • Prepare the Glasses: Fill your glasses halfway with ice cubes.
  • Add the Mixture: Pour the cranberry-citrus mixture over the ice, filling each glass to about 2/3 full.
  • Top with Sparkles: Carefully pour the chilled sparkling water into each glass, giving it a gentle stir to combine.
  • Optional Boozy Touch: If you’re opting for a cocktail version, add a splash of vodka to each glass and stir gently.
  • Step 4: Garnish and Serve
  • Garnish: Add a sprig of fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of orange zest to each drink for an extra flair.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy your refreshing Cranberry Orange Fizz immediately, while it’s cold and bubbly.
