For the Mocktail

1 cup Cranberry Juice Substitution: Pomegranate juice works well for a new flavor twist.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Substitution: Almond extract can give it a nutty dimension.
1 cup Soda Water/Club Soda Substitution: Use lemon-lime soda for added sweetness, or ginger ale for a spicy kick.
Ice Cubes Prep Note: Chill all ingredients beforehand to minimize ice use.

For Garnishing

Fresh Cranberries/Lime Slices Note: Frozen cranberries can substitute if fresh are not available.
Optional Add-ins Crush some fresh mint leaves or add a dash of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.

Preparation Steps

Begin by filling a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, making sure to leave enough space for the other ingredients.
Pour in 1 cup of cranberry juice and a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the shaker over the ice.
Secure the top of your shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
Remove the shaker top and hold a strainer over a tall glass filled with fresh ice. Slowly pour the chilled mixture into the glass.
Top off your drink with club soda, leaving a little room at the top for garnishes.
To elevate your mocktail, garnish it with a few fresh cranberries and a slice of lime on the rim.
Give the drink a gentle stir with a straw or a cocktail swizzle stick to mix in the soda.
