The classic pina colada gets a festive fall twist in these easy and delicious frozen Cranberry Coladas!
Not only are these pretty to look at, they taste even better. Â With just a few simple ingredients you can be a rockin’ hostess… because everyone’s gonna love you once they take a sip.
Since it’s still warm here on the coast of NC, I’ve been wanting to make a frozen cocktail with a seasonal flair. Â 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!
