Tips

For a deeper flavor, muddle a few extra fresh cranberries in the bottom of each glass before adding ice and the liquid mixture.
Chill all ingredients thoroughly before mixing to ensure the mocktail stays cold and refreshing for longer, preserving its crisp taste.
For an extra festive touch, rim the glasses with sugar by dipping the rim in lime juice King then in fine granulated sugar.
