Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill.

Juice and measure

Juice a fresh lime and measure 0.75 oz (about half a lime). Measure Seedlip Grove 42, cranberry juice, orange liqueur alternative, and agave syrup into a cocktail shaker.

Add plenty of ice to the shaker until it's about three-quarters full. This ensures proper dilution and chilling.

Shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the shaker feels very cold and you see fine frost on the outside. This provides good dilution and texture similar to a classic Cosmopolitan.

Dump the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using both the shaker's strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any pulp for a silky, clear finish.

Garnish & Finish

Express the lime oils over the drink by holding a lime twist over the glass and giving it a quick squeeze to release the oils, then rub the peel along the rim and drop it into the drink (or rest the lime wheel on the rim).

Optional: Skewer 2–3 fresh cranberries and rest on the rim or float them on the surface for a festive presentation.

Serve immediately while cold.
