- 2 Tbsp. fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 2 oz. cranberry juice **Make your own! See instructions below.
- 2 oz. vodka
- 4 oz. ginger beer such as Fentimans
- Ice

- Fresh cranberries
- Orange slices
Instructions
- In a copper mug, combine the orange juice, cranberry juice, vodka and ginger beer. Stir. Top off with ice, garnish with orange slices and fresh cranberries.
**DIY Cranberry Juice:
- 8 oz. fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 cups water
- sugar or sweeter of choice, to taste
- Directions: Combine the cranberries and water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst.
- Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheese cloth; strain the juice. Use a spoon or spatula to press down on the berries to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the remaining mash.
- While juice is still warm, add sugar or sweetener, about a tablespoon or so to begin with, and adjust as you please.
