Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 4 oz cranberry juice
  • 4 oz ginger beer
  • ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
  • Ice
  • Fresh cranberries (for garnish)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Start off by grabbing your glass and filling it up with ice. You want it nice and cold because that’s going to keep your drink refreshing from start to finish.
  2. Next, pour in your vodka. Go ahead and add your lemon juice right after that. This is where that fresh, citrusy flavor comes in, so don’t skip it.
  3. Now pour in your cranberry juice. You’ll start to see that beautiful color come together, and that’s when you know you’re on the right track.
  4. Top everything off with ginger beer. Pour it in slowly so it keeps that nice fizz. Give it a gentle stir, just enough to bring everything together without losing the bubbles.
  5. To finish it off, garnish with fresh cranberries and a few mint leaves. That’s it, you’re done.
