Cranberry ginger cocktail

Updated on August 1, 2025.

Ginger beer adds some fizz to your typical cranberry cocktail. The recipe amounts are for a mason jar, so if you’re glass of choice is smaller, cut the recipe in half.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup ginger beer

  • 2 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • Lemon (slices)
  • Ice cubes

Rub a lemon slice on the rim of a mason jar or glass, then dip the rim in sugar.


Add 5-6 ice cubes, cranberry juice and vodka to the jar and stir. Top with Ginger Ale and lime slices. Serve chilled!
