Cranberry Ginger Cosmopolitan

Thanksgiving and the holiday season are just around the corner and will be here before we know it. There’s a lot of cooking, and shopping, and mingling to be done. When friends and family come calling, why not offer to mix up a cocktail that’s just as festive as the holidays? Here’s a sweet and spicy twist on a classic cosmopolitan with cranberries and candied ginger – we’re callin’ it The Cranberry Ginger Cosmopolitan!
