Instructions
- Fill glass with crushed ice (I use my Ninja blender to pulverize my ice, but crushed or even cubes would be just fine) or grab some newly fallen snow.
- Pour in 2 oz of Cranberry Simple Syrup. Squeeze ¼ to ½ lemon (depending on how tart you want it). Top off with lemon-lime soda, stir gently to combine. If adult cocktail is desired, add vodka prior to lemon-lime soda.
- Garnish with sugared cranberries or a dark, rich Amarena cherry
- By the PitcherMix ingredients in order listed, except soda/seltzer and refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving, add soda or seltzer, stir gently. Slice oranges and/or lemons to float on top, a few cranberries and sprigs of rosemary. Serve with sliced lemons, sugared cranberries or Amarena cherries.

Notes
- In place of lemon lime soda, use lemon or lime sparkling water, ginger ale, or cranberry ginger ale or even ginger beer
- Use lime or orange juice instead of lemon juice
- If you don't want to make cranberry simple syrup, you can purchase a good Grenadine syrup, making it more like a Shirley Temple
- Adult-version: add 1-1.5 oz of vodka, top with seltzer water or lemon-lime soda
