Cocktail

2 oz vodka (preferably citron or plain)1 oz triple sec (Cointreau or other orange liqueur)1/2 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz cranberry juice (unsweetened or light)1/4 oz simple syrup (optional, 1:1 sugar to water)1 cup ice (for shaking)1 piece orange or lime twist (garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the drink stays cold.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz triple sec, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz cranberry juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (use only if you prefer a slightly sweeter drink).

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled. Shaking both chills and dilutes the drink to balance flavors.

Strain

Dump the ice or water from the chilled glass. Using a fine strainer or the shaker's built-in strainer, double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass to remove small ice shards.

Garnish and serve

Express the oils from an orange or lime twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a firm squeeze, then rub the rim of the glass with the twist and drop it into the drink as a garnish. Serve immediately.
