– A sturdy serving glass, around 12oz in size
– Cocktail stick for serving
How to prepare:
1. Squeeze the limes into the glass and a drop the remains in.
2. Add eight of the cranberries and muddle the mixture, ensuring the lime and cranberries are crushed but not completely pulped.

4. Add two or three ice cubes and top the mixture with the ginger beer.
5. Garnish with the remaining cranberries pierced onto the cocktail stick and serve.
