Notes
- Storage: Store the cranberry and orange juice mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to keep it separate from the club soda and orange slices to maintain the bubbly texture. If the mixture includes cranberry juice, orange juice, and simple syrup, it can last in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Club soda is best when fresh, so if you've already mixed it into the cranberry-orange mixture, it's best to consume it within a few hours for optimal fizziness.
