Recipe Tips

Fever-Tree Ginger Beer or Bundaberg are the best choices for this recipe — the spice level matters.
100% cranberry juice is very tart. Taste and add more simple syrup if needed.
For a holiday version, add a cinnamon stick and a splash of orange juice.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: For game day, pre-batch the base in a team-color pitcher and keep any soda in a cooler. Let guests add their own garnish.

Easy swaps: Use a fruit with the same team-color effect when the named fruit is unavailable. Use plain soda water to reduce sweetness without losing the game-day look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare this before the first pitch?

Yes. Prep the base and garnishes ahead, then add ice and bubbles right before serving.

How do I preserve the team colors?

Use clear or light mixers and layer or garnish just before serving.
