Easy Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and Cranberry Cocktail Recipe

Last Updated on November 3, 2026 by Mr. B

This Easy Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and Cranberry Cocktail Recipe works great as a holiday drink for Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas, but you can really enjoy it for any occasion! I love a good dark rum drink, but my wife prefers sweeter beverages, so blending spiced rum with cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and Sprite was the perfect compromise. The sugar rim around the glass adds just the right amount of extra sweetness!

I hope you enjoy this rum recipe and give it a try. Cheers!
