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

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Incorporate club soda: Pour in chilled club soda right before serving to retain the refreshing bubbles. Stir lightly to keep the fizz.
- 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.
