Ingredients
  

For the Drink

  • 1 cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Always use fresh-squeezed for maximum flavor.
  • 1 oz Simple Syrup Consider monk fruit syrup for a lower-calorie option.
  • 2 cups Chilled Sparkling Water Ensure it's well-chilled for the best carbonation.

  • 10 pieces Fresh Cranberries Can also be frozen for later use if slightly soft.
  • 1 slice Thin Orange Slice Important for a beautiful finish.
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary Adds aromatic notes that elevate sophistication.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Fill a highball glass or a champagne flute with ice cubes, adding 4-5 fresh cranberries on top for color and flavor.
  2. Pour in the unsweetened cranberry juice and fresh-squeezed orange juice until the glass is about two-thirds full. Add a splash of simple syrup and stir gently for about 10 seconds.
  3. Slowly layer the chilled sparkling water on top of the juice mixture. Use a lifting and folding motion to preserve carbonation.
  4. Garnish with a thin slice of orange and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
