I have a few cocktails here on the blog already, but I have to be honest with you. I kind of have no idea what I am doing. I am not very experienced with different alcohols; vodka, gin, rum, tequila. I mean, I know tequila goes with margaritas, and rum goes with coke, but that is kind of where it ends. I am not sure I have ever even had gin. If I go out for drinks I usually have a margarita, red wine, or beer, so my knowledge is limited. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.
I had an idea in my head for a flavor I wanted to achieve. I wasn’t exactly sure how to get there, but after a few attempts I got it! I made this for some friends we had over last week. I forgot to add the Sprite when I made them that time, and they were still good! So if you wanted to do away with the fizz, it still works out. You can make a big pitcher of these to have ready for a party or for the big game. Just serve over ice, and enjoy! But not too many, because that would be bad.

Your beautiful citrus cranberry punch makes me really thirsty when I look at it! I really want to try this. I would really like the fizzy-ness of the sprite. 🙂 I hope you have a good start to your week!
