Recipe- Cranberry Ginger Holiday Cocktail

Holiday season is meant for pampering oneself and what better way than a cocktail to do it? This Cranberry Ginger Holiday Cocktail is a chilled, refreshing vodka based drink that can be made in a pitcher and is a crowd puller. A glass of this is the perfect way to welcome the season of fall!

This post is about many things. October is Breast Cancer awareness month, and this is my dedication to the cause. I’ve had members of my family diagnosed with this terrifying disease (cancer is actually a collection of diseases) and while the physical changes are long lasting, it’s also mentally tiring to deal with. Personal strength and family support can be key to survival and recovery, so if you have the time, do read up on the subject and look up organizations where you can show your support.
