Tonight is my big staff party and I am making the Cranberry Raspberry Fizz for it. I've never made it before and was wondering how far in advance does anyone think I could make it up? Is it meant to be "slushy-ish"? Sorry if this is a stupid question.:o
 
It is WONDERFUL!!! I've made it a few times now & everyone loves it! Its not really suppossed to be slushy, also instead of plain Ginger Ale, I use Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale. One party they started added wine & said it tasted like a wine cooler. Another woman added her Mimosa with it & loved it. Both times I made it I didnt even get to add the lime slices & they said they didnt care....HTH :chef:

Thanks, I'll have to try it with the cranberry ginger ale too.
 
The lime slices are a must! They make this drink unique in taste.
 
Just wanted to add that I also thought this was DELICIOUS! Actually, now that I think of it, I've done it twice as the lemon-lime fizz (the alternate recipe). It was quite sweet, but really hit the spot. We had the limes floating in ours. Mmmm...
