Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberry juice (100% juice or cocktail-style)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes

Instructions
- Rim your glass (optional): Rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip into coarse sugar or salt for a festive touch.
