Optional garnish - Orange wedges and cranberry skewers
Instructions
Place the orange slices and cranberries in the bottom of a 2 quart pitcher. Pour in the remaining ingredients and give a gentle stir. Serve immediately over ice.
Optional garnish: thread a few cranberries on a wooden swizzle stick and place over the drink, or garnish the glass with a wedge of orange.
Notes
Recommend using white rum or vodka, but a dark rum can be used for best color.
