Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) light or white rum
  • 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsweetened 100% cranberry juice
  • 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) Cointreau
  • 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) lime juice
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) simple syrup or pure maple syrup*

Notes

*If you can only find sweetened cranberry juice, use half the simple syrup (or less, if you like drinks on the tart side).
