Instructions

Notes

Pro Tips

• For a more tart flavor, rub the lime wedge around the rim of the glass before squeezing.
• Use a cranberry juice blend or cranberry cocktail for a slightly sweeter flavor.
• For a festive touch, freeze the cranberries before using them as garnish; they’ll keep the drink cool without watering it down.
