Sparkling Cranberry-Orange Spritzer

Sparkling Cranberry-Orange Spritzer

Published October 13, 2026

Chilled cranberry and orange juice topped with sparkling water and a fresh orange slice; a bright, fizzy non-alcoholic drink built by pouring over ice.

Pour the sparkling water last and gently to preserve carbonation. For a lighter drink, use half sparkling water and half additional chilled juice.

Use a 1:1:2 ratio (cranberry, orange, sparkling water) to adjust sweetness or strength for a child's taste. Keep the juices and sparkling water very cold so the drink stays fizzy and refreshing.
