HISTORY
A refreshing drink for all ages. The tart flavors of lemon and cranberry blend beautifully together and create a fun pink color. This recipe calls for sweetener to help ease the tart flavors. You can easily make this drink 21+ by adding vodka, champagne, tequila, or rum to name a few. Serve over ice and sip in the sunshine at a cookout, at Mother’s Day brunch, or anywhere you want a refreshing beverage.
Thanks Kushi Mallya of Cook with Kushi for creating this amazing beverage.
