Cranberry Champagne Cocktail

I have a tiny confession to make.  Sometimes when we do photo shoots we fake things. Normally we don't fake the champagne, laughs or the beautiful crystal glasses . . . But from time to time, there is some faking going on.  The "faking" here in this shoot was the cranberry.  When I drink cranberry juice, I ALWAYS go for the real thing, the 100% pure cranberry juice and nothing else (almost all cranberry juice is loaded with sugar).  If you've ever had this "real" cranberry juice, you know it's pretty bitter and therefore takes a long time to drink.  So instead of buying big jar of the real cran just for a few drops, I improvised.  I improvised with a little vitamin water zero I had from my road trip to AZ.  And let me tell you, those sips in the photos are real and it was pret-ty BOMB!  So if you don't have cranberry juice or want a zero cal substitute, the vitamin water zero tasted great!
