Fall and winter drinks are often associated with cozy, creamy indulgence, but brands like Q Mixers are reimagining seasonal sipping by offering crisp, refreshing, and bubbly alternatives like the Q Cranberry Pomegranate Spritz that still deliver the comforting flavors people crave. This limited-time release, set to become available in early October at select national and regional retailers, combines the sweetness of pomegranate with the well-balanced tartness of cranberry and Q's signature fizzy finish.
The holidays are a time of celebration, but for some, they also bring a heightened mindfulness around calorie consumption amid the abundance of festive treats and indulgent meals, and the Q Cranberry Pomegranate Spritz boasts just 20 calories and four grams of cane sugar per can.
To inspire flavorful gatherings, Q Mixers whipped up several new recipes, like the Harvest Spritz and the Cranberry Cloud Fizz.
