Rudolph the Reindeer Spritzer For a Crowd!

Want to make a big batch of this festive cocktail for a party or gathering? The ratios will be correct if you use the same measuring container (glass, cup, jug, etc.) for the “1 part,” you can make as much as you need to.

To make a big batch of Rudolph the Reindeer Spritzer, mix together:

• 2 parts Bacardi Rum
• 2 parts orange juice
• 4 parts cranberry juice
• 4 parts ginger ale

Serve the large batch in drinks dispensers, pitchers, or punch bowls. Remember the ice, and add some fresh cranberries, too!

For garnish, why not provide fresh rosemary stems skewered with cranberries? Remove the bottom leaves from fresh rosemary sprigs (approximately 2-3″/5-7cm long) and skewer 3 cranberries onto the stems.
