You take some cranberry juice and pour it in a tumbler full of ice. Then add a significant amt. of vodka. People don't understand that you need a lot, in order to cut through the strong taste of the juice. Top off with the juice of a 1/4 of a lime (or more or less, to your taste.) Drink. Then make another.
Variations include adding sugar (would only do this if you are using straight cranberry juice, and not cranberry juice cocktail, which is nasty junk anyway) or replacing the vodka with iced tea and adding mint.
Are cranberries a New World thing? I love the stuff but will admit it is an acquired taste. Oh, man, this is making me miss the Cape...
Oh, cranberries are said to prevent & treat urinary tract infections, which women are susceptible to as a result of our anatomy. (TMI, I know.) Ain't it grand being a girl? "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
If you have to drink one when you're actually on the Cape, best mixed with flash boiled fresh corn and a vat or two of spicy clam chowder. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
Oh, man. Now you've got me jonesing for a plate of scallops and fries and a cup of chowder... The thing abut living in the Midwest is the total absence of fresh shellfish. Im terribly allergic to the stuff, but manage to crave it anyway... "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
