    Red Roosters

    Super easy drink recipe that has only three ingredients. Red Roosters are great for make-ahead entertaining, especially for the summer!

    two glasses of Red Roosters with a pitcher of drinks on a rod iron table with water in background

    Orange juice concentrate + cranberry juice + vodka = yum

    pitcher and two glasses with straws of red roosters on table outside

    Use 100% juice instead of a cranberry juice cocktail. Cranberry juice blend that is 100% juice is a great option for a little sweetness.

    You can find them at pretty much any grocery store, and they are sweeter than only cranberry juice but still have 100% juice.

    These need to be made ahead of time. I suggest making them in the morning, so you can enjoy them by the afternoon. Or make them the night before to make sure they are ready when you are!

    Simply let them sit out for about 15 minutes to come to a slushy consistency before serving. They also keep well covered in the freezer for about 1 month.

    They're a good sunset-watching drink, and they will definitely help you cool down since they have a slushy, frozen consistency 🙂
