    Here's what you need to make my Cranberry Pink Drink:

    • Cranberry Juice Cocktail - I used a cranberry juice cocktail which is sweetened cranberry juice. If you substitute unsweetened juice, you will need to adjust the remaining ingredients to make the drink less tart.
    • Piña Colada Mixer - Use a non-alcoholic mixer to keep this drink family-friendly.
    • Lemon Lime Soda - Any of the major brands of lemon-lime soda works.

    Optional Garnishes:

    • Fresh Cranberries and Sprigs of Rosemary
