I have my favorite cocktails during the holidays and this is one of them. It’s cool, refreshing and so delicious. I am a die-hard vodka lover, so this cocktail always gets my attention. It’s all about cranberry in the best possible way. Frosted Cranberry Cocktail is fresh, fruity and oh so good!

Vodka is always my 1st choice with cranberry juice. It goes down easy, and cranberry juice is healthy…right? Right.
