A simple and festive Christmas Mocktail recipe using three colorful fruit juices! Perfect for kids and adults alike! Enjoy!
I had a version of this Christmas Mocktail when I was in Park City for the Inspired Retreat. {You probably saw a bunch of photos on my Instagram feed from this event last weekend.} It was so refreshing and yummy that I had to make myself a whole pitcher. Overall, this takes 5 minutes or less to throw together and is the most festive fruity drink this December!
Christmas Mocktail Recipe
A super simple and super quick mocktail recipe that only takes 5 ingredients to make! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Cranberry Juice – perfectly Christmas-y!
- Pineapple Juice – some sweet acidity to go along with the tart cranberry flavor.
- Orange Juice – another slightly Christmas-y flavor with a great citrus tang.
- Sprite – or sparkling water. I thought a little club soda or sparkling water would have made this perfect but didn’t have any on hand. I added that to the printable recipe below, but it’s totally optional.
- Ice – the ice is key and makes this cold and wonderful to sip.
- Sugar – this is also optional and is used to make the rims look fancy.
How to Make a Mocktail
- Measure out and stir cranberry, orange and pineapple juices together in a pitcher. Add the ice and sprite (or sparkling water).
- Dip the damp edge of glasses into sugar, if desired.
- Pour into glasses and serve.

Looks delicious! I don’t drink either so am always on the look out for mocktail recipes! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m definitely making this for Christmas. It look delish. And everyone deserves at least one glass of wine or cocktail after holiday shopping. People are NUTS!
Ugh, men are SO hard to buy gifts for!! Everything they want you have to sell your first born to afford. Annoying,
However, these mocktails are so pretty! And they sound super yum!
gorgeous color! and yes – blech to holiday shopping. that’s why we started doing homemade stuff a few years ago. SO much less stress!
Here – my definitive Stocking Stuffer list for Men! I hate coming up with new ideas every year, so I made a huge list that I just pick a couple items off of each year! http://mrsvanderleek.blogspot.ca/2012/10/stocking-stuffers-for-men.html
Wishing I would have ordered one of those mocktails!
Love the looks of this drink!! It was so fun having cocktails at Riverhorse and it made the dinner extra special! This would be a perfect addition to any Christmas spread. And good luck with the husband gift situation!!! That’s so hard. Maybe you could buy him a DVD tv series instead of a tv??!
What a great mocktail for the holidays. I still have to do Christmas shopping for basically everyone in my family and I am dreading the stores.
Mmmm! These look so great and are a good option for Christmas parties! Will definitely be serving this drink during the holidays!
Oh yummy! This is perfect for this expectant mama! Thanks, Lauren!
That cocktail looks so good it almost makes me forget there’s no rum in it! lol
My husband is super hard to buy for too! This year I lucked out and Sting is coming, so I got him tickets. However his birthday is 2 weeks later, so I don’t know what I’ll come up for that. But I find fun things to do is a great gift… Like concerts, comedy shows, rock climbing, go-karting, etc.
Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing! Buy your hubby movie tickets….you can have a date night and he gets to watch on a really BIG screen! Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Such a fun idea! My little guys will love them!
Hey Lauren amazing recipe !! I tried it myself and I was definitely astonished by the amazing taste
This looks very refreshing, I need to give it a try. Pinning for late 🙂
Dear Lauren, Christmas present enjoyed most by ALL the males in this family over the last few years has been the Char Broil Big Easy — look it up. thank you for all your great recipes – & a hug to Brook & Blake.
Vodka would be great for those who want a little “punch”.
Thank you!

Perfect for pregnant ladies! Thank you!
These are DELICIOUS! On a whim, I made these right after Christmas. I ended up making them almost every day over the next couple of weeks. I kept telling myself that they are really healthy because the juices all have lots of vitamin C. Lol. Thanks for sharing this simple, delicious drink!
Made these for our family Christmas party, and it was so delicious! Will be making again for sure.

I can’t wait to try this with sprite!! I’m always looking for recipes that are kid friendly!! Thanks for sharing!!! Blessings!!!
I wonder if this could me made ahead of time & be frozen along with other Christmas goodies. Minus the sparkling water, of course.
Definitely would work!
I applaud you in offering a non alcohol drink I’m always finding it in cooking recipes and can’t have and don’t like the taste of alcohol grew up with alcoholic parents and get sick even when I just smell it. Again thank you
I LOVE your writing! Repeat. Repeat. And this looks really refreshing. Sounds good for a brunch I am planning!
How much Sprite in drink?
Wonder if ginger ale would be good in this. Anyone tried it?
Could this be made with ginger ale
