Print Recipe
Equipment
- cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka (Choose a good quality vodka; it’s the base of the drink!)
- 1 oz triple sec (Cointreau is the go-to brand for a more refined flavor)
- 1/2 oz cranberry juice (Fresh or 100% pure cranberry juice works best—skip the sweetened cranberry cocktail!)
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice (Fresh lime juice is a game-changer; it brightens up the cocktail like nothing else.)
- ice
- Lime twist or wedge (For garnish, because every cocktail deserves a little flair!)
Instructions
- Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. This is key for getting your drink nice and chilled.
- Pour in the vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and lime juice
- Shake it like you mean it! Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. You want it cold and well-mixed.
- Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. (If you don’t have a martini glass, any fancy glass will do—just make it glamorous!)
- Garnish with a twist of lime, lime wedge, or orange slice on the rim. Some people love a cocktail cherry for an extra pop of color and sweetness.
