When we were teenagers, we imagined adulthood as drinking coffee every day until 4:00 p.m., then switching to wine. We thought: What caffeinated/tipsy fun it’ll be to grow up!

As adults, we know that too much coffee keeps us awake at night and alcohol is a delightful treat — but it isn’t a requirement for a sophisticated evening. In fact, a lot of the beauty in an evening beverage is in the flavors, whether it contains the strong stuff or not.

In that spirit, we dreamed up a cranberry-forward mocktail, full of tart flavor and earthy green tea. It’s a dry drink, which is exceptionally hard to achieve in a mocktail, while still being bright and refreshing. The concentrated pomegranate juice and cranberry juice pack a punch and play well together with the tea.

Flavor isn’t this cocktail’s only selling point. With antioxidant-rich green tea, pomegranates and cranberries, this drink is exceptionally healthy to boot.

It’s a great drink for a special occasion — or an ideal candidate for making a big batch and keeping in the fridge for a week. Whatever you choose, your taste buds are in for a treat.
