This is a festive summer cooler for those who prefer a drink without alcohol. You can make it "straight up" or frozen. For the alcohol version, add vodka instead of sparkling water and substitute an orange liquer ( like Cointreau or Grand Marnier) for the orange juice.
This is very good with tzatziki dip (see recipe for gyros in the April archives) and toasted pita triangles.

1 jigger cranberry juice
1 jigger club soda, Perrier, or sparkling water of choice
juice of 1/2 lime
long pour of orange juice (count to 2...or to taste)
For the "straight up" version, combine above ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker, shake, and strain into a martini or margarita glass.
For the frozen version, combine ingedients with ice in a blender. Blend until ice is completely integrated. Pour into martini or margarita glass.
