CRANBERRY COCKTAIL

I adore the combination of flavors in this recipe. The secret is to thaw the lemonade so it's still slightly icy-this way the cocktail will be cool and refreshing. For a nonalcoholic option, use peach juice and lemon-lime soda instead of schnapps and vodka. -Julie Danler, Bel Aire, Kansas
