I found this drink to have a wonderfully refreshing flavor. It gave me the impression of a lighter, more citrusy twist on a classic sangria. Initially, I was hesitant about adding the lemon rind, but I followed the advice from another review and it truly enhanced the drink. I used a fine grater to add just the right amount for my taste. I opted for sparkling Moscato as the wine base and had no issues making a half recipe, which still made enough for a single serving. The only drawback for me was the color – it resembled a murky grapefruit hue. However, the delightful taste more than made up for this visual aspect.

Absolutely delicious!! I made a refreshing drink by mixing 2/3 cranberry Sprite, 1/3 orange juice, and a zested lemon.

We have prepared this dish several times for dinner gatherings, and it has been a huge success every time. Guests always inquire about the ingredients, and it's surprisingly easy to make, almost like a cheat code. In our latest attempt, we paired it with sparkling rosé, which added an extra delicious touch.
