Do NOT make this with unsweetened cranberry juice. An anise-smoked taste vacuum. Made it a second time with 22.5 ml grenadine, and that was a step in the right direction. I feel compelled to work on this, but it's not a compelling blend of flavors. It would end up being a different drink by the time I was done.
