Notes
For the bubbliest mocktail, using chilled juices helps preserve carbonation. Stir gently to avoid flattening the ginger beer.
Too much cranberry can overpower the rest of the drink. Be sure to measure out the correct ratios. A bottle of 100% cranberry juice gives a sharper, more grown-up mocktail, while the one labled "cranberry juice cocktail" has added sugar that makes it noticeably sweeter. Adjust to your audience.
Simple syrup is an easy way to adjust the sweetness without changing the flavor of the mocktail. You can also adjust the mocktail by using flavored simple syrup. Start with ¼ ounce per drink and add more if desired.
