    Ingredients in this super easy cranberry spritzer recipe

    As aforementioned, this holiday drink recipe is incredibly easy with the most minimal ingredients. Here's what you'll need:

    1. Cranberry juice: this recipe will work with both 100% cranberry juice and cranberry juice cocktail.
    2. Sparkling water: add just a right amount of sparkling water to create such nice bubbling effect for the drink.
    3. Lemon: 1 slice for each glass is enough to add a touch of citrus to the spritzer.
    4. Mint leaves: add contrast color to create more vibrant and stunning look for the drink.
    5. Sugar: combine it with water to make simple syrup which can be used for any drink recipe.

    Two ways to make this drink

    There are two different ways to make this easy drink: make to order or make in advance.

    The make-to-order way takes a little effort and would be great for a party of maximum 10 persons. You'll add each ingredient to an individual serving rock glass, and serve immediately after mixing everything.

    The make-in-advance way works best when you have a large crowd for a Thanksgiving gathering or Christmas party. You'll mix everything in a large pitcher or a punch bowl (except sparkling water and garnishes) and let them chill for a few hours or even the night before. Then add the bubbling water and garnishes just right before serving time.


    Options for different garnishes

    Since this is a super easy drink, I want to keep the garnishes as minimum as possible. However, you can always spice it up with these options to make the drink even more vibrant and match with your holiday theme.

    • Citrus: beside lemon slices, slices of orange or lime are another excellent option instead of lemon. You can even use orange/lemon peels to add more citrus fragrance to the drink.
    • Cranberries: fresh or frozen cranberries also make a good garnish for the drink. Don't go crazy; a few cranberries for each serving can go a long way.
    • Fresh herbs: mint leaves or rosemary sprigs will work best with this cranberry spritzer recipe.

    More drink recipes

    I don't always make a drink unless it is unique or tastes super delicious. Here are some drink recipes that you'll find very exciting to try:

    • Try this easy vodka mixed drink if you're looking for a holiday alcoholic drink.
    • Best homemade herbal tea - the best thing about this drink is it's naturally sweetened.
    • Homemade soy milk recipe - the recipe does not need any fancy cooking appliances. Some basic ones will do the job perfectly.
