1/2 oz of orange soda
32 oz of Cranberry Juice
3/4 cup of Lemon Juice
1/3 cup of sugar

In pitcher, combine cranberry juice, lemon juice, and sugar; stir until sugar dissolves. Chill. Just before serving add orange soda. Serve over ice.

*If you buy in store: the chilled beverage uses green coffee extract to add caffeine. It’s sweetened with Christmassy flavors of cranberry and orange, plus it’s topped with real cranberries. You can request two modifications for different flavor profiles, too. Make it a Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade or add coconut milk for a Cran-Merry Drink.

The lemonade version was sweet and tart, but it was too summery for me. I’d much rather order this version during warmer months. The Cran-Merry Drink, which uses coconut milk to turn it cotton candy pink, reminded me of a festive option right out of Who-ville. Though pretty, it’s not something I’d order over more classic holiday drinks. Overall, I’d stick with the basic Cran-Merry Orange because I felt like that one offered the most seasonal flavor.
