Tipsy Tuesday No. 1: Cranberry Punch

Anywhere you look this time of year, you can find pumpkin if you want it. So I thought today I’d pay homage to the often overlooked fall flavor of cranberry. Tart, but sweet, and especially good with cinnamon for some added spice. I’d have no problem curling up with a glass of this most autumn nights!
