Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberry juice (unsweetened or sweetened, depending on preference)

Instructions

Add ice cubes to the glass or pitcher to keep the drink nice and cold.
4️⃣ Top with Bubbles
Gently pour in the sparkling water, stirring lightly to maintain the bubbles.
5️⃣ Serve & Garnish
Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh cranberries, lime slices, and a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.
