    Notes

    Here are a few tips and tricks:
    Use fresh lime juice for a brighter flavor.
    Adjust the simple syrup if you like it sweeter or less sweet.
    For a more festive feel, freeze cranberries into ice cubes.
    Change it up by using flavored gins or adding a dash of orange bitters. Let me know if you have your own twist in the comments! 🍸
