Cranberry-Orange Holiday Fizz

The Cranberry-Orange Holiday Fizz is a bright, bubbly mocktail made with cranberry juice, ginger ale or sparkling water, and fresh orange. It’s easy for the whole family to make and festive enough for holiday celebrations.
Serving Size 8

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chilled cranberry juice cocktail
  • 3 cups chilled ginger ale or sparkling water
  • 1 orange sliced into thin rounds or wedges
  • Ice
  • Dried orange slices and cinnamon sticks for garnish if using
  • Orange rimming sugar if using

Instructions

  • If using rimming sugar, lightly wet the rim of each glass with an orange wedge and dip it in the sugar.
  • Add ice to the glasses. Divide the cranberry juice among them.
  • Top with ginger ale or sparkling water just before serving. Stir gently.
  • Add a fresh orange slice and an optional dried garnish. Enjoy right away while it is bubbly.

Notes

Make it your own: Ginger ale makes a sweeter, kid-friendly drink. Sparkling water makes a lighter version. Set out both if your family likes choices. For a less sweet option, use 100% cranberry juice blend and taste before serving; straight unsweetened cranberry juice is quite tart.
