- Vodka. Vodka is the primary spirit. You could use vodka infused with rosemary for even more flavor.
- Cranberry juice. Use cranberry juice or cranberry cocktail. You can even use pomegranate juice.
- Ginger beer. I used Crabbies brand, but feel free to use your favorite brand.
- Lime juice. Fresh squeezed lime juice will give you the best flavor.
