If I’m going to drink, 9 times out of 10, I’m grabbing a beer. On the rare occasion I feel like a cocktail, I always panic on what to order. I’m not a fan of overly sweet drinks that are going to leave me with a stomachache, but I also don’t want to feel like I’m drinking fire. I needed to find my Goldie Locks drink. I walked up to the bar on a warm, summer day and when the bartender asked, “Hey, what’ll it be?” I panicked and ordered something I was all too familiar with- a Vodka cran. But I was feeling a little bold that night, so while he walked away I asked him to throw in a splash of lemonade. He gave me a puzzled look but boy, oh boy, it was DELICIOUS! But I knew there was something I could do to make it even better.
I am not known for my skills in the kitchen, or behind the bar, but I’m trying here! One of my favorite drinks growing up was Squirt pop mixed with cranberry juice. So I just assumed it would be just as refreshing if i added some vodka and even more refreshing with some lemonade! For one, my recipe ( I’m using that term loosely here) worked!
Cranberry Chats A Lot
I’m calling this drink The Cranberry Chats A Lot because after a few of these…you’ll figure out why.
Measure with your heart or by how your day is going:
Over ice, pour your vodka
Equal parts of your favorite lemonade and Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice (I like the 100% juice)
Top ’er off with your Squirt
Squeeze some fresh lemon juice in there if you have it
Stir it on up and garnish it with whatever you have and looks good
Make sure to tag me if you try it out! Cheers!
