Preparation Steps

Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and tools needed for the cocktail. This includes a cocktail shaker, a jigger for measuring, a muddler, and a serving glass.

Muddle Mint Leaves
In the cocktail shaker, add 5 fresh mint leaves. Use the muddler to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, being careful not to shred them.

Add Liquids
Pour in 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled mint.

Add Cranberry Juice
Next, add 2 oz of cranberry juice to the shaker. This will provide a nice color and balance the tartness of the lemon juice.

Shake the Mixture
Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine and chill all the ingredients.
