Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 1/2 ounces cranberry juice Ocean Spray brand
- 1/2 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 ounce Cointreau any orange liqueur
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add 2 ounces vodka, 1 1/2 ounces sweetened cranberry juice, 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice, and 1/2 ounce Cointreau.
- Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds, until very cold.
- Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
- Garnish with a lime wheel, lime twist, or orange twist and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cranberry juice: Use sweetened cranberry juice cocktail, such as Ocean Spray. Unsweetened 100% cranberry juice will make the drink much more tart.
- Fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime gives this cocktail the best bright, crisp flavor.
- Orange liqueur: Cointreau is my favorite, but Triple Sec works too.
- Chill it well: Shake vigorously with plenty of ice for 20–30 seconds and strain into a chilled glass.
- Holiday garnish: Add fresh cranberries, rosemary, or an orange twist to make it festive for Christmas
