This cranberry spritzer is as easy to make as it is refreshing to sip. It’s crisp, lightly sweet, and has just the right hint of tartness from the cranberries.

I like to serve this when I want something festive that doesn’t require a lot of prep or ingredients—just a few simple steps, and it’s ready to go.

Whether mixing up a batch for a small gathering or wanting a non-alcoholic option with a little sparkle, this drink delivers every time. It’s a delicious, fuss-free way to add a touch of flavor and color to any occasion.
