Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cranberry juice

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 cup ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (for fizz)
  • Ice cubes (for serving)
  • Garnishes: fresh cranberries, pineapple wedges, lime slices, and rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  • Mix the Juices:
    • In a large pitcher, combine cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, and lime juice. Stir well.
  • Add Fizz:
    • Just before serving, stir in the ginger ale or lemon-lime soda for a bubbly touch.
  • Serve:
    • Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the drink over the ice.
    • Garnish with fresh cranberries, a pineapple wedge, a lime slice, and a sprig of rosemary for a festive look.
  • Optional Cocktail Version:

Notes

  • For extra flair, rim the glasses with sugar. Dip the rim in lime juice and then into sugar before filling the glass.
  • This recipe makes about 4 servings but can easily be scaled up for a crowd.
  • Make it ahead by mixing the juices in advance and adding the soda just before serving to retain the fizz.
