We rented a house on the beach for a long weekend and I made this recipe for us. I thought a gallon would suffice but omg we drank it up and ran into town to buy more ingredients to make another TWO batches! I used diet cranberry juice cocktail for the first batch and it was really good but we couldn't get the diet at the little store in town so we used regular and it was even better (but had more calories of course). So I'd skip worrying about calories for a day and use the real stuff if you're going to make this because it is sooooooo good.
