Why this works

I like to take a break from alcohol every now and then. It can be hard to find non-alcoholic cocktails that have complex flavors and feel sophisticated, which is why I love inventing cocktails. Ginger beer doesn’t contain alcohol, but it has a great kick that I love in a cocktail.

• Easy: With just three ingredients plus ice, this mocktail will be ready in minutes.
• Refreshing and balanced: Lime juice and cranberries give this sparkling mocktail citrusy brightness and color, and ginger provides a little spice for a refreshing drink.
• entertainment: Just because you don’t drink alcohol doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have something exciting to drink.
