Notes
The drink can be made sweeter by adding more simple syrup.
Fresh cranberry juice works better than cocktail mixes.
Store-bought simple syrup works fine, but making it at home is easy. Mix equal parts sugar and water, then heat until dissolved.
Keep ingredients cold for the best results.
Double strain if you want to remove small ice chips.
