Ingredients
This recipe makes about 4 servings
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Fresh cranberries | 2 cups |
| Fresh ginger | 3–4 inches |
| Lemons | 2, peeled |
| Maple syrup | 5 tbsp |
| Water | 2 cups |
| Sparkling water | 2 cups |
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your ingredients
Start by rinsing the cranberries and peeling the lemons. You can leave the ginger skin on as the Canoly juicer can handle it well and it adds extra antioxidants to your drink.
Step 2
Juice the cranberries, ginger, and lemon
Feed the cranberries into the juicer first, followed by alternating pieces of ginger and lemon. This sequence helps prevent clogging by using the cranberries to push the ginger fibers through the machine.
Step 3
Mix with water and maple syrup
Transfer the fresh juice to a pitcher, then add 2 cups of still water and the maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the syrup fully dissolves. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness to your preference.
If you prefer a less sweet taste, start with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and add more as needed, as the tartness of the cranberries can vary.
Step 4
Top with sparkling water and serve
Just before serving, add the sparkling water and gently stir to maintain the fizz. Serve over ice, garnished with a slice of lemon or a few fresh cranberries. For a cozy winter version, skip the sparkling water and gently warm the juice-water-syrup mix on the stove without boiling it.

3 common questions
1. Do I need to peel the ginger?
No, there’s no need to peel the ginger as the Canoly cold press juicer can process the skin efficiently. Leaving it on is quicker and adds extra antioxidants. If you prefer to peel it, you can use the back of a spoon to cleanly remove the skin.
2. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cranberry, ginger, and lemon juice up to 2 days in advance. Store the base (without the sparkling water) in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add the sparkling water just before serving to retain the carbonation.
3. How long does it keep?
The juice base can be refrigerated for 3–5 days. Cold-press juicers like the Canoly help preserve the freshness longer compared to centrifugal models. For tips on storing juice, refer to our guide on the best containers for juice storage.
