Method
Cocktail
Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz orange liqueur, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz cranberry juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters.
Add ice
Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker (enough to fill roughly two-thirds of the shaker) to properly chill and dilute the drink.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold and you hear the ice slapping vigorously — this chills and slightly dilutes the cocktail for balance.
Double-strain and serve
Remove ice from the chilled glass if used. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch any small ice shards or pulp for a silky texture.
Garnish
Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist over the surface and pinching it so the oils spray onto the cocktail, then sweep the twist around the rim and drop it into the glass or rest on the rim.
Serve
Serve immediately while cold. Advise to sip slowly to appreciate the citrus and cranberry balance.
