Cranberry Holiday Mocktail Recipes

Pass the sweet potatoes, the holidays will be here before you know it. And I’ve got a reason to be thankful this year 7UP TEN®. TEN™ as in only TEN™ calories. To help you be thankful I’ve got two mocktail recipes that I want to share with you today that are going to be a hit at your holiday gathering.

Cranberry Holiday Mocktail Recipes

To keep with the TEN™ theme, both of these mocktails can be made in about 10 minutes and with less than 10 ingredients.

First up, a Cranberry Orange Spritzer. You’ll start by making the syrup. Combine cranberries, orange peel, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Once that is cooked you’ll strain the syrup.

Pour ¼ cup syrup into the bottom of your glass. I prefer mine rimmed in sugar.

Fill your glass with 4 ounces of 7UP TEN®.

Then garnish your drink with a couple cranberries and a piece of orange peel.

If you want to turn your spritzer into a cocktail you’ll still start with ¼ cup syrup, but then add 1 ½ ounces of vodka and some seltzer.

I grabbed a bottle of 7UP TEN®, as well as all the ingredients for my mocktails, at Walmart.

Next up is the Cranberry Orange Sparkler. Again you’ll start by making the syrup. This time I’m using cranberries, sugar, water, and fresh thyme. Once it’s nice and cooked you’ll strain it and then get busy mixing drinks.

Pour 2 tablespoons syrup and 2 tablespoons cranberry juice in the bottom of your glass.

You can turn your sparkler into a martini by substituting 1 shot of vodka for the ginger ale. Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and then strain into a martini glass.

Garnish with a couple sprigs of thyme and a few cranberries.
