Why this mocktail supports women’s health
Cranberry is naturally rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells and support skin health, something many women are more aware of as they move through perimenopause and menopause.
Using unsweetened cranberry juice keeps sugar low, helping to avoid the energy dips, cravings and mood swings that can follow sugary festive drinks. The small amount of fresh orange juice adds natural sweetness and vitamin C without tipping blood sugar too high.
A pinch of cinnamon is optional, but it adds warmth and can support steadier energy levels, which is particularly helpful during busy December days.
When to enjoy this drink
The Cranberry Glow Fizz is perfect as:
