Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by rimming your cocktail glass with sugar. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. Then dip the rim into a plate of sugar, coating it evenly. Set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Drink

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the orange vodka, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Add the ice cubes to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake it Up

    Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass, ensuring that the sugar rim remains intact.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a slice of lime on the rim of the glass for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
