Notes

Tips for Making Cranberry Mocktails

Use fresh cranberries and pomegranates to add that gorgeous festive feel to each drink.
Be sure to use club soda, not tonic water. Tonic water has added sugar, and there is no need for added sugar since you're using juice.
Prepare the pitcher just before you're ready to serve, and add the ice at the last minute. The ice will melt and water down the drink. Or add the ice to each serving so it doesn't become watered down.
Use fresh lime juice, using a juicer will help you get all of the juice out of each lime.
It's best to make this recipe just before you're ready to serve. However, it will keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator, it just won't be as fizzy! Be sure to store it without the added ice so it doesn't get watered down.
