Four glasses of cranberry-orange spritz with ice and orange half-moon garnishes.

Ingredients & method

Before you start: Chill the juices and sparkling water, cut the orange garnish and have four glasses ready. Mix and pour just before serving.

Equipment: Pitcher; four glasses

Need another measuring unit? Convert cups, tablespoons and teaspoons. Keep the ingredient’s preparation and the recipe’s stated amounts.

Recipe note: Serve freshly mixed; keep juice refrigerated before mixing.

Keep the glass measures separate

Mix the two juices first, then divide the ice among all four glasses. Each receives a measured juice-base amount and the same measured sparkling-water amount. That division makes the four-serving yield clearer than pouring by eye until the first two glasses look full. Use suitable larger glasses if your chosen ice leaves too little carrying room.

Keep the sparkling water chilled and sealed until the glasses are ready. Add it gently, give the short stir, and finish with one orange slice each. The stated liquid yield excludes ice, so it is not a promise that a small cup can hold the whole serving. Serve freshly mixed as directed; leave another round’s base and sparkling water separate until needed.
