Directions
Make the simple syrup: Bring the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan, stirring until dissolved. Let cool completely.
Transfer the syrup to a large pitcher. Stir in the lemon juice and cranberry juice. Refrigerate until cold.
Before serving, stir in the seltzer. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lemon wheels and sugared cranberries.
Cook’s Note
To make sugared cranberries for garnish, bring 1/4 cup each sugar and water to a boil. Pour over 3/4 cup cranberries and let sit 1 hour, then drain. Roll the cranberries in sugar and let dry.
