Measure and combine
Add 2 oz vodka, 0.5 oz dry curaçao, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 1.5 oz cranberry juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (if using) into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 6 standard ice cubes). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the exterior is frosted.

Strain
Dump the ice water from the chilled glass (if used). Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and, if available, a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp for a silky texture.
Garnish & Serve
- 5
Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and giving it a quick bend, then optionally rub the peel on the rim and drop it into the cocktail. Alternatively, float a lime wheel or set a lime twist on the rim.

Serve immediately while cold. Optionally provide a small stirrer if the guest prefers to adjust sweetness.
