Crimson Tailgate Spritzer by Sabrina Keating

INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 oz. vodka
  • 4 oz. cranberry juice
  • 1.5 oz. sparkling water
  • Ginger beer

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Mix and pour over a full glass of ice. Top with .5 oz. ginger beer (or more to taste).
  2. If crimson makes you see red in anger, we do have other alternatives.
  3. If you like to say War Eagle substitute cranberry juice for fresh squeezed orange juice and garnish with blueberries.
  4. Both versions are refreshing and will be greatly appreciated during those beginning of the season football games
  5. If you don't have an allegiance to either team, mix both juices together for a refreshing combination.
