Copycat Starbucks Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade
A sweet-and-bitter fruit lemonade with bold cranberry tang, bright orange notes, and that slightly unpredictable fruit-pulp texture. Refreshing, colourful, and totally unique.
Ingredients (1 drink)
¾ cup lemonade
¼ cup cranberry juice (not cocktail — real cranberry for bitterness)
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp simple syrup (or more to taste)
1 tbsp mixed berry pieces (optional, for authenticity)
Ice
Instructions
Add lemonade, cranberry juice, and orange juice to shaker.
Add simple syrup and shake well. Add ice to a tall glass.
Strain into the glass (to avoid berry clogs) or pour unstrained to mimic Starbucks.
Add berries on top if desired.
Tips
If you don’t like bitterness, use cranberry cocktail instead.
If you like tart, don’t strain it — the berry bits give real texture.
