My whole family enjoyed this fruity drink last night for supper with our takeout pizza. It was nice and sweet, but not too much. I used diet orange soda and a cranberry tea. Made and reviewed as the recipe of the day for the Comfort Cafe - Thanks! :)

I scaled this back to make 4 cups. I really enjoyed it! I had cranberry grape juice so used that. Thanks! Made for the Comfort Cafe, Recipe of the Day.
