Must-try cranberry juice mocktails

If you’re taking a break from booze or just fancy a more family-friendly tipple this festive season, our Eager cranberry juice is a brilliant addition to a variety of non-alcoholic cocktails.

And because it’s kept in the cupboard rather than the fridge before being opened, it’s ready to go whenever you fancy letting your inner mixologist loose.

Festive flourishes

Add cranberry juice to anything and it instantly becomes a bit more festive, but you can really go to town with these cranberry juice mocktails, with seasonal garnishes like fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs, to ‘snowy’ sugar glass rims.

Try mixing the cranberry with other juice flavours too, like apple or orange, to balance out the tartness and make an even fruitier mocktail.

Here are our top cranberry juice mocktails to toast with friends and family this festive season…
