Equipment
- Cocktail Shaker
- Festive Glass
Ingredients
- 2 ounces orange juice
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- 1.5 ounces vodka
- 1 cup ice
- splash grenadine for vibrant color

- Slowly pour in the ginger ale (or your chosen soda) to fill the glass, adding that delightful sparkle.
- For a fun, festive touch, place two fresh rosemary sprigs into the glass to mimic reindeer antlers. Finish with a bright red maraschino cherry for Rudolph's nose! Serve immediately and enjoy!
