Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for coating
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cups sparkling soda (club soda or lemon-lime soda)

- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved to create a simple syrup.

- Top each glass with a handful of sugared candied cranberries and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your festive soda!
Notes
For an adult twist, add a splash of vodka or gin to the soda before garnishing with sugared cranberries.
