What is an easy mocktail I can make? How to make a northern lights drink

Ingredients

• 120 ml Cranberry Juice (100% juice, chilled)
• 15 ml Blue Curaçao (Regular blue curaçao (contains a small amount of alcohol) or non‑alcoholic blue curaçao syrup)
• 60 ml Soda Water (Chilled, plain sparkling water)
• 1 piece Straw (Optional, for sipping)

Instructions

1. Chill Glass and Ingredients

   Place the highball glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water to chill, then discard the ice water. Ensure cranberry juice and soda water are well‑chilled.

   Time: PT1M

2. Add Cranberry Base

   Measure 120 ml of cranberry juice with the jigger and pour it into the chilled glass, filling it about halfway.

   Time: PT1M

3. Create Soda Water Layer

   Using the bar spoon held upside‑down, gently pour 60 ml of soda water over the back of the spoon so it floats on top of the cranberry juice.

   Time: PT1M

4. Prepare Blue Curaçao Mixture

   In a small mixing glass, combine 15 ml of blue curaçao with a splash (about 5 ml) of soda water and stir gently.

   Time: PT30S

5. Float the Blue Layer

   Place the fine mesh strainer over the highball glass and slowly pour the blue curaçao mixture through the strainer so it drifts onto the soda layer, creating a distinct blue cap.

   Time: PT30S

6. Finish and Serve

   Insert a straw (optional) and serve immediately. The drink can be enjoyed as‑is; the layers will gradually blend as you sip.

   Time: PT30S
