This festive Sparkling Cranberry Cosmo Mocktail is the perfect addition to any holiday gathering.
It’s a bright, refreshing mocktail with just the right mix of tangy and sweet.
A virgin cosmo that can be enjoyed by everyone at the party, pregnant, non-drinking guest, and the kiddos.
This drink uses easy ingredients, it is so simple to make, and looks so festive!
It makes for a wonderful addition to all your holiday parties.
Try different garnishes for this delicious beverage, such as a sprig of rosemary, mint, orange or lime slices, and/or frozen or fresh whole cranberries.
Can this mocktail be served as a alcoholic beverage?
Yes, this cocktail can also be a spiked beverage.
The alcohol usually used in cosmopolitans is vodka, but I have seen some use vodka and triple sec.
No need to change out any of the ingredients, just add the alcohol to each individual glass before serving.

How to make a Sparkling Cranberry Cosmo Mocktail
Chill glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving these drinks.
Clean and slice the orange and lime slices, set aside, optional.
Pour the cranberry juice, orange juice, and lime juice into a glass container, stir to combine. ( I used a 2 quart canning jar to mix my drinks )
Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer, pour the mocktail into each glass, about half full.
