Mocktails are a delightful way to enjoy flavourful, alcohol-free beverages. This mocktail is the Citrus Sunset Spritzer, a refreshing blend of citrus and cranberry flavours.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 cup cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Orange slice and mint sprig for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  2. In a mixing jug, combine the orange juice, cranberry juice, and lime juice. Stir well.
  3. Pour the juice mixture into the glass and top with sparkling water. Adjust the ratio to your taste.
  4. Honey can be added for extra sweetness.
  5. Garnish with an orange slice and a sprig of mint.

Recommended cranberry juice:

For a South African touch, consider using Clover Krush 100% UHT Cranberry Juice. It’s a blend of apple, aronia and cranberry juices. It is enriched with vitamins A, C, and D and contains no added sugars or sweeteners.

Why you’ll love it:

The Citrus Sunset Spritzer offers a harmonious balance of sweet and tart flavors, enhanced by the effervescence of sparkling water. It’s an ideal choice for warm days or as a sophisticated non-alcoholic option at gatherings.

Pro tip:

For an extra twist, freeze cranberries or orange slices to use as decorative ice cubes, keeping your drink cool without diluting the flavour.
