    Since it’s still warm here on the coast of NC, I’ve been wanting to make a frozen cocktail with a seasonal flair.  I was reading through cranberry (food) recipes and the idea just popped in my head the other night… imagine that!

    This recipe is extremely similar to a traditional frozen piña colada, but I substituted cranberry juice cocktail in place of pineapple juice.  I kept adding ingredients into the blender until I got it to taste like I wanted it.  I have a large capacity blender, so split the recipe and make this in batches if necessary.

    Enjoy!
