Hot Spiced Cranberry Drink
I serve this rosy spiced beverage at parties and family gatherings during the winter. Friends like the tangy twist it gets from Red Hots. It's a nice change from the usual hot chocolate. —Laura Burgess, Ballwin, Missouri

Reviews
I made this recipe and it was delicious! I don't have a slow cooker, so I simmered the beverage for 1-1/2 hours on my stovetop in my 6-Qt. stockpot. I didn't have the FULL amount of cranberry juice, so I added Strawberry-Watermelon juice and cinnamon disc candies (1/2 cup).
Served this at my work's Christmas potluck. I had requests for the recipe. I kept it on warm in the crockpot after it heated through. Will definitely make this again.
This is a delicious drink for your guest when they visit.
