How to Make Cranberry Spritzer

  1. Refrigerate 4 cups cranberry juice, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 4 cups chilled carbonated water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the chilled cranberry juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Gently add the chilled carbonated water to the pitcher. Do not stir vigorously to maintain carbonation.
  4. Add 2 cups of lemon sherbet and gently stir until partially combined. Leave some sherbet chunks for texture.
  5. Pour into tall, chilled glasses filled with ice.
  6. Garnish each glass with a lemon or lime wedge and a few fresh cranberries (optional).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
