Cranberry Cocktail

With the help of my friend Mandy, we invented a new cocktail using the leftover juice from the pickled cranberries I made for Thanksgiving.  This delightful little concoction is perfect for the holidays, I highly recommend it!  Recipe is below.  If you'd like a non-alcoholic version, just use 7-UP or sparkling water and don't add rum - it's really yummy!

Cranberry Holiday Cocktail

For one drink:

2 oz. leftover cranberry juice from pickled cranberries recipe

2 oz. spiced rum

2 oz. 7-UP

1 oz. or splash of freshly-squeezed lime juice

Stir with ice in a tumbler (if you shake with the 7-UP, it squirts everywhere, ha!)
