Ingredients
Scale
Creating your own canned non-alcoholic drinks is a bit like painting a memory with flavors. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (for sweetness)
- Sparkling water to top off
- A pinch of cinnamon (because everything’s better with cinnamon!)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap out the orange juice for pineapple or the cranberry for pomegranate — the possibilities are as endless as the stories we tell.
Instructions
Creating these drinks is like weaving a tapestry — each step brings you closer to a masterpiece:
- Start by pouring the orange juice, cranberry juice, and lime juice into a large pitcher. Stir in the vanilla extract and honey or agave syrup until well combined.
- Fill your favorite glasses with ice cubes — the kind you’d use when sneaking into the kitchen at dawn, hoping for an adventure in flavor.
- Pour the juice mixture over the ice, filling each glass halfway.
- Top off with sparkling water, giving each drink a fizzy, celebratory sparkle.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to each glass for that warm, comforting note that reminds you of home.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, letting their bright, invigorating scent mingle with the rest of the flavors.
- Stir gently and serve immediately, sharing with friends and family around your own too-small table.
