Notes
*Since the sweetness of this cocktail can vary by brand of ginger beer, I recommend using unsweetened pure cranberry juice, as opposed to cranberry juice cocktail. If you find that the cocktail is too tart, sweeten to taste with simple syrup (1:1 ratio of granulated sugar dissolved in hot water and cooled), added in ½ teaspoon increments.
