This Cranberry Sunrise Mocktail is a delicious refreshing drink that has elements of cranberry and orange mixed with lemon-lime soda! It is completely non-alcoholic so everyone can enjoy – and you won’t miss the alcohol!
Orange Cranberry Mocktail Recipe
This perfect summer drink is my absolute favorite to make in hot weather. It is sweet and filled with yummy fruit juice flavors that make it one of my favorite drinks! This is kind of like a Tequila Sunrise crossed with an Island Breeze, but without any alcohol – instead we’re using cranberry and orange juices. It’s a gorgeous drink and perfect anytime you need a fun virgin cocktail recipe.
Ingredients Needed
- Cranberry Juice: Use any brand of cranberry juice that you like best, we prefer 100% juice.
- Orange Juice: I recommend getting pulp-free orange juice so this drink can stay smooth all the way through. Have leftover orange juice? Make Virgin Mimosas or a Virgin Screwdriver!
- Lemon-Lime Soda: Use any kind of lemon-lime soda or soda alternate. If you want a less sweet drink – replace with club soda.

Expert Tips
- With all the fruit juices and soda, this recipe has a great sweetness and tartness that many love, but if you want it less sweet, you can replace the soda with club soda. You could also add some water if you want to dilute it a little.
- Garnish with orange slices and cherries on top and a cherry too.
- Don’t stir it too much to keep its sunrise effect, or stir to mix the drink.
Storing and Make Ahead
This drink makes one serving, but it’s easy to make size it up to make a party punch. Don’t add the soda until right before serving; store any leftovers in the fridge but soda will go flat so add that just before enjoying.
