A refreshing Virgin Cosmopolitan cocktail that offers the classic tart and citrus flavors of a traditional Cosmopolitan without the alcohol. Made with unsweetened cranberry juice, fresh citrus juices, a hint of sweetness, and topped with sparkling water, this mocktail is perfect for a light, bubbly, and flavorful drink suitable for any occasion.

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 2 ounces unsweetened cranberry juice
  • ½ ounce zero calorie simple syrup (optional, omit if using sweetened cranberry juice or to taste)
  • 1 ounce orange juice
  • ½ ounce lime juice or lemon juice
  • 3 ounces sparkling water, club soda, or tonic water

Additional Flavorings

  • 1 dash orange bitters (about 8 drops or 1/8 teaspoon orange extract, optional)

Other

  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients except the sparkling water. Measure 2 ounces of unsweetened cranberry juice, ½ ounce of zero calorie simple syrup if using, 1 ounce of orange juice, ½ ounce of lime or lemon juice, and a dash of orange bitters if desired.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Place the cranberry juice, simple syrup, orange juice, lime or lemon juice, bitters, and ice into a cocktail shaker.
  3. Shake: Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled and combined.
  4. Pour and Top: Strain the mixture into a martini glass filled with fresh ice. Top the drink with 3 ounces of sparkling water, club soda, or tonic water to add effervescence and lighten the drink.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately, optionally garnished with a lime wedge or twist for extra flair.

Notes

  • Omit the zero calorie simple syrup if you use sweetened cranberry juice or prefer a less sweet drink.
  • Orange bitters or orange extract add complexity but are optional.
  • You can substitute lime juice with fresh lemon juice depending on your taste preference.
  • Use sparkling water, club soda, or tonic water to add bubbles without adding sugar or calories.
  • Serve chilled with plenty of ice for the best refreshing taste.
