Notes
– *IMPORTANT NOTE ON CRANBERRY JUICE: Look for a juice that is marked100% cranberry but that has a blend of other juices, usually apple, added.If you purchase 100% pure cranberry juice without any other fruits used, itmay be too tart for your taste. If this happens, you can sweeten the punchto your liking by stirring in 1/4 to 1/2 cup simple syrup.
