Tips on Cranberry Orange Mocktails

Do cranberry and orange go well together?

Yes! Cranberry and orange are a perfect pair! Orange zest is often added to cranberry sauce to enhance the flavor of the cranberries and orange juice provides a delicious, natural sweetness to offset the tartness of cranberries.

Is a mocktail alcoholic?

There is zero alcohol in any of my mocktails, including this one, making it the perfect holiday sip for anyone and everyone!

Can I use cranberry juice in this?

No. For this recipe, you need fresh or frozen cranberries to make the syrup, which is a key ingredient.

Can I use ginger ale instead of ginger beer?

Yes! If you don’t have ginger beer on hand or simply prefer a lighter ginger flavor, feel free to swap out the ginger beer in the recipe for ginger ale.

What else can I use for garnish?

I love floating a few fresh or frozen cranberries on top of this drink for an easy garnish. Orange slices, a twist of orange peel or even fresh pomegranate seeds would all look great garnishing this mocktail. To give it a Christmas flair, add a sprig of rosemary.
