With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I’m trying to plan a special dinner for my family. Valentine’s Day is my husband’s birthday so I like to make an extra special dinner to celebrate the love of my life. One of the things I’ll be serving with dinner is a special Non-Alcoholic Lemon-Lime Cran-Raspberry Drink. Something the entire family can drink together that we don’t have every day. Plus, it’s red for Valentine’s Day.

To make this yummy sparkling drink, you’ll need to following ingredients. The recipe can also be printed below for your convenience.
