Hurt foot leads to a bunch of cranberry drinks

Today as I was rearranging the food in my fridge, I accidentally dropped a bottle of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice on my foot. But instead of throwing the bottle across the room and swearing my head off, I decided to check out the Ocean Spray web site and see what they had for cranberry cocktails.

I always try to turn a negative into a positive, and I find alcohol helps.

The 5-0 Cosmo

3 oz Diet Ocean Spray Cranberry Spray Juice Drink
3/4 oz raspberry vodka
squeeze of lime
lime twist for garnish

Shake all ingredients (except twist) in a cocktail shaker with ice until cold. Strain into chilled glass and garnish with twist.

Cranberry Burst

6 oz Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice with Calcium
2 oz orange juice
2 oz ginger ale (or diet)
orange slice

Pour all ingredients into a glass with ice. Add orange slice for garnish (Note: not sure if you absolutely need the cranberry juice with calcium, but it's good for you).

Sea Breeze (a classic drink)

3 oz Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail, chilled
3 oz Ocean Spray White Grapefruit Juice
1 1/2 oz vodka

Pour all ingredients into a tall glass filled with ice.

Too funny!

Cranberry and green apple vodka is fun and fruit - a bit girly, but fun and fruity.
