Instructions
Chill your ingredients.
- For the best results, make sure your juices and ginger ale are chilled beforehand. This will keep the drink cold without watering it down too much with ice.

Add the fizz.
- Just before serving, pour in the ginger ale and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine. You want to keep as much of the fizz as possible.
Prepare your glasses.
- Fill your serving glasses with ice cubes. This is a good time to add garnishes like apple slices and fresh cranberries to the glasses.
Pour and serve.
- Pour the sparkling cranberry apple cider mocktail over the ice in each glass. Add a sprig of fresh mint for a nice touch if you like.
Notes
- This recipe is a great option for making a big batch in a punch bowl.
