Crantinis
"I had this over the holidays and I must say they are so easy to make and taste wonderful. This doesn't have to be a holiday drink, but would be terrific summer spritzer too. If you like Cranberry Juice try this one."

Very nice drink,enjoyed it -
Well Zaar made my beautiful champagne glass into a short shot glass but anyway....this is a great drink especially for the summertime! I used orange juice instead of the triple sec and did not have any fresh cranberries to garnish this drink. Very good and refreshing. Made for Beverage Tag. -
What I enjoyed about this drink was that it was lighter than I expected. It was a little more citrusy than I would have liked, so next time I think I might cut back on the triple sec a tad. The color is beautiful, it's a drinl for all seasons I would say. -
Another one of my favs!! I love cranberry juice, vodka and lime!!!I used triple sec, regular vodka and the fresh limes! I didn't have fresh cranberries to float, but it was delightful,none the less!! Thanks for posting! **Made for January Beverage Tag 2008**

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
