Mocktail Recipe

Measure and combine juices

In a large measuring jug or pitcher, pour 1 cup fresh orange juice, 1 cup pineapple juice and 1 cup cranberry juice. Add 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir gently to combine.

Adjust sweetness

Add 2 tablespoons simple syrup and 1 teaspoon grenadine (if using) to the juice mixture. Taste and adjust: add up to 1 additional tablespoon simple syrup if you prefer sweeter.

Muddle mint

Place 6 fresh mint leaves into a sturdy glass or small bowl. Gently press and twist the leaves with a muddler or the back of a spoon for 5–8 seconds to release aroma — do not over-mash to avoid bitterness. Add the muddled mint to the pitcher with the juice mixture and stir once to incorporate.

Prepare glasses

Fill two serving glasses evenly with crushed ice (about 1 cup crushed ice per glass).

Pour mocktail and add carbonation

Pour the juice and mint mixture evenly over the ice in both glasses, filling each about two-thirds full. Top each glass with 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water (total 1 cup across both glasses). Stir gently once in each glass to combine without flattening the bubbles.

Garnish and finish

Float an orange wheel on each glass and tuck a small sprig of fresh mint against the rim. If desired, drizzle a tiny extra drop of grenadine into the center of each drink for a color gradient effect.
