Preparation Steps
1
Juice the oranges and lemon into a large pitcher. Use a manual or electric juicer to extract as much juice as possible from the citrus fruits.
2
Puree the cranberries in a blender or mash them with a fork. Then, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the skins and seeds. The cranberry puree will give the lemonade a smoother texture.
3
Add the honey to the citrus juice and stir thoroughly until completely dissolved. If the honey is difficult to dissolve, you can add a little lukewarm water to help the process.
4
Pour in the cold water and soda water, then mix gently so that the bubbles don't disappear too quickly.
5
Add ice cubes and garnish the lemonade with fresh mint and a few whole cranberries to enhance the presentation and flavor.
6
Serve immediately, or let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
