Cranberry Lime Mocktail Ingredients 

This delicious cranberry lime refresher drink is made with three simple ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 8 cups filtered water
• 1/4 cup lime juice from fresh limes
• 4 Tbsp raw honey

How to Make a Simple Cranberry Lime Refresher

First, rinse the cranberries and then pour them into a high-speed blender. This is the blender that we have and love: Blender. 

Add the water to the blender.

The cranberries will float to the top just like in a cranberry bog. 

Secure the top to the blender and blend for 1-2 minutes until the cranberries have completely emulsified, leaving you with a vibrant pink cranberry water. 

Strain the Cranberry Water

Next, you will need to strain the pulp from the water. You can use a fine mesh sieve, a nutbag, or cheesecloth. We find that cheesecloth bags tend to work the best. You can find these cheesecloth bags online here: Cheesecloth bags. 

Carefully pour the cranberry water into the bag to separate the water from the pulp. 

Work in small batches to avoid making a mess.

Once the cranberry water is fully separated from the pulp pour the cran water into a large pitcher and add the lime juice. 

Next, add the raw honey to the pitcher.

Stir the honey so that it dissolves while the cranberry lime mocktail drink is at room temperature. 

Refreshing Cranberry Lime 

Pour the delicious drink into a glass of ice and garnish with lime slices, lime wedges, or rosemary sprigs. 

Cranberries always appear in the grocery store during the holiday season so make sure to grab some and add this recipe to your list of festive drinks to make. You can make a few batches and serve in a punch bowl at your next party. 

This cranberry lime refresher has a subtle cranberry taste with a refreshing tartness of the lime.  This non-alcoholic cranberry drink is a crowd-pleaser and the perfect choice for all of your holiday gatherings.
