Cranberry Citrus Highball
Cranberry and orange bring a familiar sweet-tart pairing to apple and pomegranate, with plenty of sparkling water between the fruit notes. A narrow orange twist adds a fragrant finishing touch. This easy highball calls for everyday juices and just a gentle stir.
Made with Apple Pomegranate E+
5 min · One 8 fl oz drink · 10 fl oz straight-sided highball glass
Original recipe by Capt. Solomon D. Crowe
One 2 fl oz E+ bottle + 6 fl oz mixers = one 8 fl oz drink.
The finished drink contains the bottle’s caffeine: 85 mg according to the US product sheet. Dilution changes the concentration, while the total caffeine stays the same. Check your bottle’s current label.
The flavor balance
Sweetened cranberry juice cocktail contributes both sweetness and a tart cranberry note. Orange juice adds a rounder citrus flavor, and sparkling water accounts for half the finished liquid volume.
Ingredients
Makes 8 US fl oz · About 237 mL · No ice
- 1 full 2 fl oz bottle Isagenix E+ Apple Pomegranate, chilled
- 1 fl oz (2 tbsp) sweetened cranberry juice cocktail, chilled
- 1 fl oz (2 tbsp) orange juice, chilled
- About 4 fl oz (1/2 cup) plain sparkling water, chilled; use only enough to bring the finished drink to 8 fl oz
- 1 orange-peel twist, about 2 inches long, for garnish
Optional variation — choose before mixing
For less sweetness, replace 1 tbsp cranberry juice cocktail with 1 tbsp sparkling water. Keep the full 2 fl oz E+ bottle unchanged and the finished liquid at exactly 8 fl oz; make the swap before mixing.
How to make it
- 1
Combine the measured sweetened cranberry juice cocktail and measured orange juice in an open measuring jug. Use thoroughly chilled liquids and a chilled glass; do not add ice.
- 2
Pour in the entire 2 fl oz bottle of E+ and stir gently to combine.
- 3
Add chilled plain sparkling water last, pouring slowly down the side of the open jug. Use about 4 fl oz (1/2 cup), pausing for foam to settle and stopping when the liquid reaches exactly 8 fl oz; never shake or blend the carbonated mixture.
- 4
Pour the full 8 fl oz serving into the chilled 10 fl oz straight-sided highball glass, without ice. Garnish with 1 orange-peel twist, about 2 inches long. Serve promptly.
Mixologist’s tip: Use ready-to-drink sweetened cranberry juice cocktail; unsweetened cranberry concentrate is not an equivalent substitution.
Serve alongside: A turkey and cranberry sandwich triangle.
