Main Ingredients

  • 3 oz cranberry juice
  • 4 oz ginger beer (or ginger kombucha for a nourishing twist)
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 1 oz non-alcoholic rum or spirit of choice (optional)

Garnish

  • Cranberries (optional)
  • Orange slices (optional)
  • Rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)

  2. Mix Ingredients: Pour in the cranberry juice, orange juice, and ginger beer over the ice.
  3. Stir and Taste: Gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors. Taste and adjust by adding more cranberry juice for tartness or ginger beer for spice if desired.

Notes

  • This mocktail is quick and easy to prepare, taking only about 3 minutes from start to finish.
  • For a nourishing twist, substitute ginger beer with ginger kombucha to add probiotics.
  • The non-alcoholic rum is optional and the mocktail tastes great without it, making it suitable for all ages.

  • Use fresh herbs and citrus slices for an attractive presentation and added aroma.
