Health Benefits of Ingredients
Sparkling Ice (Cranberry Frost)
- Very low calorie and no carbs per bottle
- Great option when you want a sugar free mocktail vibe without mixing a ton of ingredients
Spindrift Raspberry (Raspberry Lime)
- Made with carbonated water + real fruit (raspberry purée + lime juice)
- Light natural sweetness: 1g carbs / 1g sugar per can
- Adds that “fresh fruit” taste without blending or syrup
Are Mocktails Healthy?
- They can be! The trick is what’s inside.
- A lot of mocktails are basically juice + sugar + syrup in a party hat.
- This one keeps it simple: bubbly, fruity, low sugar, and low calories — so it fits the “healthy mocktails” goal without pretending it’s a green juice.
Shelly’s Dietitian Tip!
- If you’re watching blood sugar: pair this with protein (think: boiled eggs, turkey roll-ups, Greek yogurt dip) so you stay steady instead of snacky.
Fun Variations
Make it sweeter (still light):
- Add 1–2 tsp orange juice or a splash of diet cranberry juice
Make it a pitcher for guests (4 servings):
- 2 cups Sparkling Ice Cranberry Frost
- 2 cups Spindrift Raspberry
- Orange wedges for garnish
- Pour right before serving so it stays fizzy
Frozen option (no blender rule friendly-ish):
- Pour over crushed ice for a slushy vibe without blending
How To Make It A Cocktail (Alcohol Version)
If you want a true cranberry mimosa cocktail:
- Add 1–2 oz vodka or 1–2 oz champagne/prosecco
- Then top with your Sparkling Ice + Spindrift mix
Storage Tips
- This is best fresh (bubbles don’t like waiting).
- If batching: combine in a pitcher without ice, refrigerate up to 24 hours, then pour over ice and top with a fresh splash of bubbly right before serving.
