When the weather heats up, nothing beats a sparkling, fruity drink to stay refreshed. This cranberry, wild blueberry, and mint mocktail is a simple, colorful, alcohol-free alternative that brings a burst of freshness to your summer days.

In addition to its deliciously tangy flavour, this recipe features Land Art Cranberry Extract, made from Grade A cranberries grown without pesticides. Unlike many products on the market, the frozen cranberries are processed directly into extract at Land Art’s facilities, allowing for rigorous quality control at every stage of production.

A 10 mL serving, provides the equivalent of 5,742 mg of cranberries, including 57 mg of proanthocyanidins, a polyphenol that has been extensively studied for its role in supporting urinary tract health. This means that the active compounds naturally found in cranberries are concentrated during the extraction process, delivering a significant amount in a small serving. The recommended daily amount is two serving of 10 mL.

Whether enjoyed at brunch, on a sunny afternoon, or as a refreshing alcohol-free aperitif, this mocktail is an easy way to add flavour and colour to your daily routine.
