Ingredients

Scale

Juices

  • 1 cup fresh blood orange juice
  • 3/4 cup cranberry juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup (natural)
  • 1 cup chilled club soda
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
  • Blood orange slice, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the juices: Start by squeezing fresh blood oranges and limes to capture their vibrant juices. Strain if desired to remove any pulp for a smoother drink.
  2. Mix the base: Combine the blood orange juice, cranberry juice, freshly pressed lime juice, and agave syrup (natural) in a large mixing glass or pitcher. Stir gently to blend all the flavors evenly.
  3. Add apple cider vinegar: Slowly pour in the apple cider vinegar, mixing delicately to infuse a subtle tang that brightens the mocktail without overpowering it.
  4. Incorporate club soda: Pour in chilled club soda right before serving to retain the refreshing bubbles. Stir lightly to keep the fizz.
  5. Serve over ice and garnish: Fill your glass with ice cubes, pour the mixed mocktail over, and finish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of blood orange on the rim for a decorative touch.

Notes

  • Chill all liquids ahead of time for a cool, refreshing drink immediately.
  • Adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more agave syrup (natural) or lime juice to suit your taste.
  • Use freshly squeezed blood orange juice for the best brightness and flavor.
  • Stir gently after adding club soda to keep the bubbles intact.
  • Freeze the mint leaves before use to keep them fresh longer and achieve a frosty look.
