Cranberry daiquiris

This is the recipe "doubled" but I don't know why you would ever care about making less, so have adapted it. Also, I usually try to use 100% cranberry juice rather than the cranberry juice cocktail stuff ... either way is fine but the "juice cocktail" version makes it a bit sweeter and we like to cut the sweetness some.
