Tips For An Amazing Cocktail

• I do not suggest mixing this drink in advance. It tastes best when served immediately upon mixing.
• You can use cocktail cranberry juice or even grape juice and its flavor variances, in place of the cranberry juice, if desired. It’s about taste preferences.
• You can use simple syrup in place of the corn syrup. There are similar options that are also fine, just make sure it remains clear, or close to it.
• If you don’t want to serve it on the rocks, then simply add some ice to the cocktail shaker when mixing. This will chill it, but not leave ice in your cup to water it down.
• Pro Tip – Add a sprinkle of grape Kool-Aid to your drink to make it pop with flavor!
