Bursting fresh cranberries with refreshing mint and lime infused in sparkling water. Simple to make and delicious, this cranberry mint lime sparkling water is perfect for the winter holidays.
I feel that at holiday gatherings, or any social gatherings, beverages play an important part. We might not think it does, but really, it does.
Because it’s always the drinks that we reach for first and often refill.
I’m not much of a consumer of alcohol. I don’t know how to appreciate wine, even though I wish I did. I love cocktails, as long as the taste of alcohol is at a minimum. But even with the minimal amount of alcohol, like a few sips, my cheeks turn bright red. Not something I want when I’m trying to enjoy my mimosa with my weekend brunch.
For those of you who feel the same way, or want a nonalcoholic drink, I’ve got the perfect holiday beverage for you.
Bursting cranberries, fresh mint, tart lime, and sparkling water. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect holiday bubbly?
So simple to make too.
Place water, sugar, fresh cranberries, and mint into a small pot to simmer until the cranberries burst. Allow the mixture to cool, then place a few spoonfuls into your sparkling water or club soda. Garnish with cranberries and mint. Then add crushed ice.
That’s it! Simple, right? And looks impressive too!
You can find the recipe for this holiday beverage over at Ask Anna, where I’m contributing this month.
Enjoy!

Looks delicious. I gave up sugar over a year ago. I’m going to try it with out and see how it turns out.
I hope you’ll like it, Maria! Let me know how the sugar free version turns out =)

Like Janelle I agree this would b an excellent drink for our Australian summer. I’m just wondering WHERE I can get fresh cranberries
I have no idea where to find fresh cranberries in Australia! Especially in the summer. Good luck finding them, Maureen!
This looks sooo good. I tried a virgin mojito the other day and have been on the lookout for others like it. I’m definitely giving this a go!
Hope you’ll like it!
Awesome idea. Going to be trying that for Christmas afternoon/pre-dinner. Thanks!
