Notes
- If you want to make homemade sugared cranberries, the timeline on this drink will be longer. However, the drink takes less than 5 minute to make.
- In a large (at least 2 ½ quarts!) glass pitcher, combine the following:
- Stir with a long cocktail spoon (or a wooden spoon if you don't have a cocktail spoon long enough.) Add ice or frozen cranberries to keep it cool, and serve.
- This makes 8 servings. If your pitcher is larger, you can certainly make 10-12 servings. Just make sure that you leave enough space to add ice or frozen cranberries at the end to keep it cool!
- 16 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice (do NOT use cranberry cocktail)
- 24 oz. ginger beer
- 12 oz. spiced rum
- 8 oz. simple syrup
