Berry & Bright Spritz

A delicious cranberry and sage holiday mocktail!

If you’re looking for a holiday sip that’s equal parts refreshing, colorful, and delightfully herbal, this Berry & Bright Spritz is about to be your new seasonal favorite. Crisp cranberry, a hint of sweet, and earthy sage come together to create a mocktail that feels fancy without any fuss. It’s the perfect drink for gatherings, gifting yourself a quiet moment, or adding a festive pop to any winter table.

Both sage and cranberries bring more than just flavor, they also add a little natural goodness to each glass. Cranberries are known for being rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, lending brightness inside and out. Sage adds a soothing aromatic quality and has long been appreciated for its grounding, comforting presence in culinary traditions. Together, they create a mocktail that not only tastes refreshing but feels revitalizing, too!
