Ingredients
Scale
Creating these drinks is as easy as a Sunday morning in Devon, where the day starts with a gentle stroll through the garden.
- 2 cups of freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup of cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 liter of sparkling water
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Ice cubes
Feel free to swap out cranberry juice for pomegranate if you fancy a tangier sip, or add a dash of cinnamon — my personal favorite — for a hint of warmth.
Instructions
Let’s whisk some magic into our glasses, just like my early morning escapades in the kitchen all those years ago.
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, cranberry juice, and lemon juice.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract, stirring until the honey is completely dissolved. This is where you can add your personal touch — a sprinkle of cinnamon goes a long way!
- Just before serving, gently pour in the sparkling water and give it a gentle stir to keep the bubbles alive.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the drink over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve immediately for the best taste.
Remember, the key here is to create a drink that not only tastes delightful but also feels like a warm hug in a glass.
