Notes

Use fresh berry liqueur for the brightest flavor.
Adjust cream to taste—more for a velvety texture, less for a lighter cocktail.
Make ahead of time for a party; shake with ice just before serving.
For a mocktail version, swap alcohol for cranberry juice and sparkling water with a splash of berry syrup.
