Loved the cranberry and lime mixture. BK, another one of your wonderful drinks. We made the non-alcoholic version. Made for AU/NZ tag. -
I used plain ginger ale. It was too sweet for our taste even though I used unsweetened cranberry juice. But overall, it has a great taste. I would reduce the quantity of ginger ale. Thanks BK :) Made for Photo tag -
Very nice without the alcohol! I made myself a tall glass and enjoyed. Thanks! -
Nice drink! I love anything cranberry and this was really really good. The citrus really perked me up after I wilted in this HEAT all day! Thanks Baby Kato! *Made for Bevy Tag* -
Wonderfully refreshing cocktail on a brutally hot summer's day! The mixture of the fresh lime juice with the cranberry and splash of ginger ale is terrific! I used regular vodka and a squirt of fresh lemon in place of the lemon vodka, and regular ginger ale. Thanks so much for sharing, Baby Kato!

I made this substituting Cointreau (another orange liqueur) for the Grand Marnier. I had just a hair more than 1 1/2 oz of some homemade lemon vodka, so finished that off. And I had to use regular ginger ale instead of cranberry. I don't think any of these slight alterations could have affected the flavor once. My verdict is that this is wonderfully refreshing and great-tasting treat for a pick-me-up. Thanks, Gerry!

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
