Ingredients
Mocktail Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Soda water or club soda, to top off
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Fresh cranberries or lime slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to rapidly chill the drink during mixing.
- Add main ingredients: Pour 1 cup of cranberry juice and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the shaker filled with ice.
- Shake the mixture: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously until the liquid is well mixed and nicely chilled, about 10-15 seconds.
- Strain the drink: Strain the chilled mixture into your preferred serving glass, ensuring excess ice remains in the shaker and does not enter the glass.
- Add soda water: Top off the glass with soda water or club soda to your taste, adding a refreshing fizzy element.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate with fresh cranberries or lime slices to enhance the appearance and flavor, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chilled cranberry juice for the coldest drink without diluting the flavors too much.
- Adjust vanilla extract amount based on your taste preference for sweetness and aroma.
- Soda water can be substituted with flavored sparkling water for an added twist.
- For a sweeter mocktail, add a small amount of simple syrup or honey before shaking.
- Use fresh cranberries or lime slices as garnish for a seasonal and vibrant presentation.
