    Helpful Tips for Christmas Mocktails

    The Perfect Glasses 

    Of course, you can serve these mocktails up in regular drinking glasses or wine glasses of your choice. But fancy glasses just make it feel more like the holidays!

    You can use a simple mason jar or fun and decorative holiday themed glasses. Either way it works great!

    Don't Over-Ice It!

    While you should definitely serve this Christmas mocktail over ice, be careful not to add too much ice or let it sit for too long after pouring. If the ice melts too much, it will water down the drink and not taste nearly as good.

    Christmas Mocktail Variations 

    Lemon Lime Soda 

    Instead of ginger ale you can make this mocktail with a lemon lime soda instead. This is going to give you a similar flavor but with a fun flavor twist. 

    Pineapple Juice 

    Swap the orange juice with pineapple juice for a completely new recipe. It will compliment the flavors of the drink quite a bit but still work really well with the cranberry. Give it a try. 

    Ice Cubes with Cranberries 

    Want to really impress your holiday guests? Make your own cranberry ice cubes by adding cranberries into the ice cube trays along with water, and then as it melts the cranberries will be in the glass. It is a fun way to dress up the drink a bit.

    Christmas Mocktail FAQs

    Do orange and cranberry go together?

    Orange and cranberry are a perfect pair especially around the holiday season. You will find that there are a ton of recipes that have the two ingredients together. 

    Can I make a pitcher of this mocktail? 

    You can make a pitcher but make sure to serve it right away, as the ginger ale will go flat pretty quickly. So be ready to pour in glasses and serve shortly after mixing.
