Something to try next time

  • Try creating your own cocktail by mixing sparkling ginger ale or apple juice with still juice such as
    cranberry and invent a name for your cocktail.
  • Swap the sparkling grape juice for sparkling water.
  • Try freezing a small piece of fruit or slices of lemon or lime in each ice cube.

Prepare now, eat later

  • Chill all of the ingredients in the fridge for 2 hours before using them.
  • The cocktail needs to be served as soon as it is made before it loses its sparkle. Refrigerate any leftover cocktail.
