Christmas Mocktail Recipe

This refreshing Christmas mocktail would be perfect to serve at a holiday brunch.

Fresh ginger, oranges, limes, and cranberries are muddled with fruit juices to create this zingy festive drink.

Club Soda gives the sparkle, and with the fresh cranberries and sliced orange garnish, I think this mocktail looks like Christmas in a glass!

Ingredients used in this mocktail

I know Christmas is the season of excess, and the Eat, Drink & Be Merry mentality, but I bet I’m not the only one who craves something a bit healthier during the holidays.

The sparkling Christmas mocktail is packed with fresh fruit and fruit juice so it’s firmly in the healthy range!

Here is what you need to make this drink (all the quantities will be in the recipe card at the bottom of this post)

  • Fresh Ginger
  • Cranberry Juice – use a good quality juice (like Ocean Spray which is 100% cranberries and not a “juice drink” which is often just a small amount like 5%-10%)
  • Fresh Oranges – and their juice
  • Fresh Lime
  • Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
  • Club Sodayou could use sparkling mineral water, or even lemonade (that’s lemon-lime soda/Sprite/7-Up to my overseas readers, rather than the soft drink made with fresh lemons!)
  • Honey – optional, for adding sweetness
