Have a Vodka Cranberry Cocktail

Sis, it’s just Tuesday and I’m ready to wrap this sh** up. Life has been lifing and it’s just the beginning of the week. I wonder if I feel this way because my hair is not done….. oh don’t judge me… you know the feeling.

I’m slicking this hair back into a cute little ponytail, get my day going and send out this group text to the girls because I need COCKTAILS!!!

But sis, I want you to have one too. Grab some homegirls and travel to the nearest bar with a little entertainment. Request a Vodka Cranberry Cocktail and show the bartender the recipe below.

A Vodka Cranberry Cocktail is not the strongest drink you will have and you don’t really taste the alcohol but, it is delicious and refreshing. The lime and cranberry are both tart, which really wakes up your taste buds. For a little sweetness add a dash of orange juice.
