    This drink was really good. I didn't bother measuring out the amounts everytime. I just poured 1 bottle vodka, 1 bottle champagne and almost 1 whole bottle of Ocean Spray Cranberry Cocktail in a pitcher. Everyone loved this as well. You have to use Cranberry cocktail juice because I think this is what gives it its sweetness.

    Very refreshing holiday drink. We added a splash of Pama Pomegranate liqueur and some fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish. It appeared and tasted very festive.

    These are a crowd pleaser. Refreshing with just the right amount of alcohol to enjoy more than one. When serving at Christmas dinner I've added a sprig of rosemary and fresh whole cranberries to the bottom of glass. It adds to the flavor and looks so festive.

    Everyone enjoyed this drink and it was very easy. Initially thought it was not sweet enough. So added a splash of orange juice and some simple syrup and it was great! I also used the tip on the orange vodka.

    This is light & refreshing! I think it was not sweet enough for everyone (I am having a party & looking for a crowd-pleaser but I did use Korbel Brut & 100% cranberry juice instead of cranberry cocktail.

    We followed the recipe as its written - just slight variances in product. After reading the reviews (and I'm not sure why it EVER started we decided to exclude raspberries. We used lime peels as our "garnish." Overall, the drink has a beautiful dark pink/ red hue and the lime green garnish fit the bill for Christmas color and provided that vodka cranberry hint of lime in the beverage. We used rose champagne instead of plain (added color!! We used cranberry juice but also a touch of the cran-pomegranate that Ocean Spray makes - light version of course! This was a knock-out punch!

    This is delicious. We have one where we leave out the vodka, and use 4 parts cranberry juice to 1 part orange liqueur. Fill flute about 1/3 full with that mixture, and top off with champagne. Fresh or frozen cranberries -- or rsapberries -- do look pretty in the bottom of the flutes.
