Cheers Teresa, have a good one!
You as well and cheers to you.
Teresa, did you know you could open a can of Cranberries, place them in the ice box for the family to use as a cream for other things. I have find the long it’s out of the can the better,
This sounds like something I’d like to have right now! I’ve been at my loom all day and could use a bit of refreshing!
YUM!!!!!
Wow, Teresa that cocktail is a thing of beauty! It’s perfect for entertaining!
Can you use Vodka instead of Gin?
Nothing quite like bubbly for the holiday season. I just adore ginger beer and with gin? Wow! I’d be in heaven 🙂
This looks really delicious. I LOVE cranberries & try to always find new ways to use them. What a beautiful holiday drink- we posted a cider recipe today. It’s so versatile, like yours, that you can make a mock or cocktail. Cheers!
