With the holidays coming upon us and my quest for non sugar/non fake sugar/non caffeinated/no calorie beverages, I found some flavored sparkling waters that were all natural. Calorie free, sweetener free, sugar free and sodium free. They come in many different flavors so I decided to try the cranberry-raspberry flavor. It smelled good and refreshing as I poured it over a glass of ice. Then I took a sip. Ummmm….noooo. It reminded me of scented club soda. Which is just weird, right? Ya I know. I was so disappointed. And I bought an 8 pack of cans. Thank goodness I only paid like 3 bucks for it. So of course as soon as I thought the drink tasted like club soda, a common cocktail mixer, I wondered what kind of cocktail I could make with this stuff. And ta-da! The cran-razz cocktail was born. Low calorie and no fake crap.
I mean seriously, it really doesn’t get any healthier for a drink. You’re practically getting a serving of fruit! And it’s so pretty. Especially if you serve it in a champagne glass. Or champs glass as my RHOC girls would call it.
Cran-razz sparkling cocktail
1 oz vodka
cranberry raspberry sparkling water (I used La Croix)
4-5 fresh raspberries
cranberry juice
Fill a champagne glass with fresh raspberries. Add vodka. Pour in cranberry raspberry sparkling water. Add splash of cranberry juice.
