Yeah, it is far too sour with equal parts. Should've read the comments. Also, I got an orange colour, no red/pink came from the cranberry. Could also do with some sweetness.

Agreed. I've now adopted Benjamin’s recipe (below). Thanks, Benjamin.

I followed Benjamins advice (thank you!) and could imagine that the original recipe is way too sour. Depending on your fruit and juice it might be necessary additionally to adjust the sweetness.

Found the lemon and lime juice overpowering when they made up half the cocktail. Enjoyed the drink with the following adjusted measurements:

2 oz Cranberry Juice
1 oz Orange Juice
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
