Cranberry Rise & Shine

Cranberry brings tartness and a slightly dry finish, while orange gives the drink a sweeter middle. Sparkling water turns the combination into a lighter breakfast spritz rather than a full glass of juice. Look at your cranberry juice before mixing: a sweetened blend behaves differently from pure cranberry. Begin with the listed amounts, then let the cranberry’s strength guide any small change to the orange or water.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Sparkling water
• 2 oz Cranberry juice
• 2 oz Orange juice

Make it

1. Add the fruit and herbs to a glass. Gently press soft fruit or herbs to release their flavor.
2. Stir in the juice, any optional salt or sweetener, and the water. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir once.
3. Add ice if you like. Let infused water stand for 5 minutes for a fuller flavor.
