1. Place the goji berries in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for about 10 minutes, until softened.
2. Drain the goji berries completely and discard the soaking water.
3. Add the softened goji berries, cranberry juice, orange juice, lime juice, and maple syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
4. The mixture will become frothy while blending. Let it settle briefly, then use a spoon to skim and discard the froth from the top.
5. Stir the chia seeds into the blended mixture and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
6. If making sugared rims, lightly wet the rims of two glasses with an orange or lime wedge, then dip them into sugar.
7. Fill each glass with ice and divide the cranberry-goji mixture evenly between the two glasses.
8. Top each mocktail with about 1/2 cup sparkling water.
9. Stir gently and garnish as desired. Serve immediately.
