Whether you fill big mugs with this mulled juice when it's still steaming hot, or let it get cold in the refrigerator, this combination of flavors is very, very refreshing and tasty.
If you've ever tried to drink regular straight-up cranberry juice you know why you have to mix something in with it. Cranberry juice on its own is quite tart and most people find it undrinkable. (That's why you see mostly cranberry juice mixed with other juices on the grocery store shelves.) As a matter of fact, you may have to search around a little for pure cranberry juice, but this drink is worth the effort.
