Health and fertility benefits of Red Roosters

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

4 cups cranberry juice cocktail
3 cups orange juice
2 cups vodka
Garnishes: fresh cranberries, lemon slices

Instructions

Stir together first 3 ingredients in a large pitcher. Serve over ice. Garnish, if desired.
