Summer Sunset Fizz Recipe

2 servings 5 minutes cranberry drinks easy drinks orange juice recipes refreshing mocktails sparkling beverages summer recipes

I came up with this on one of those golden, slow summer evenings — the kind where the sky looks painted. I wanted a drink to match the mood: light, fruity, and a little bit fancy. With some orange, cranberry, and sparkling water, this “sunset in a glass” was born. It’s now a warm-weather favorite in our house, especially for front porch happy hours (kid-friendly, of course!). 

 

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup orange juice

  • ¼ cup cranberry juice (100% juice preferred)

  • 1½ cups cold sparkling water

  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • Ice cubes

  • Garnish: orange slice, mint, or a few berries

 

Instructions:

  1. Fill a glass with ice.

  2. Pour in orange juice and cranberry juice, then stir in sweetener if using.

  3. Top with sparkling water and stir gently.

  4. Garnish with fruit or mint, and enjoy the fizz!
