Manhattan Slim

1/2 shot Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice

Put everything but the cherry in a shaker with ice. Shake-shake-shake until it’s arctic, and little chips of ice are floating on top. Tuck your cherry in a cocktail glass, and ease the drink right in.

  1. Wow. I love you but no. I can think of few things that I would like to drink *less* that artificially sweetened “diet cranberry juice drink”.

    “Diet cranberry juice”? No. Please no.

    And I appreciate that you need advertisers to make a living off of your site. I’m not criticizing your decision to do sponsored posts. I’m just saying that this is a product that is gross and does not need to exist.
