While I may not be a big drinker…I am a huge celebrator!  Taylor and I feel like the more sparkly and festive we can make things, the better.  Since we are hosting Thanksgiving this year for the first time in our apartment, we decided to create a fun Sparkling Cranberry Mojito Mocktail to serve to our family and friends.  This way everyone can join in on the fun regardless of their age or whether they drink alcohol. 

This recipe is fast and it only calls for a few ingredients.  I started out by muddling some lime and mint in the bottom of a highball glass.

Next, I put some fresh cranberries (although frozen would work fine), water and sugar into a saucepan on the stove and let them boil down on medium heat.

I was going to strain the cranberry mixture into the drinks but I decided to spoon it in after it cooled without doing that.  I thought the thicker sauce with chunks of cranberries gave it a little extra flair and went well with the muddled limes and mint.

Finally, I added ice, squeezed in a little more fresh lime juice and topped the drinks off with DASANI® Sparkling Lime to add some fizzy goodness.

I purchased the ingredients and accessories for this recipe at my local Target.  You can find that cute tray here and the glasses here.  They also carry tons of flavors of DASANI® Sparkling.  There are new 20oz Dasani Sparkling cans in the check-out lane, too.  They are perfect for sampling flavors without committing to buying a whole pack.
