Notes
*Use unsweetened cranberry juice (not from concentrate) for best results. Cranberry juice cocktail (like the popular Ocean Spray brand) has added sugar and will make the drink too sweet.
**Fever-Tree brand is preferred for ginger beer.
***You can adjust the amount of bubbly ingredients to taste. Just keep in mind that adding more ginger beer will make the ginger flavor more pronounced.
