Method
Prepare
Chill glass
Place a highball glass in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill with ice and let sit for 1 minute, then discard that ice. Keeping the glass cold helps maintain fizz.
If using vodka, measure 45 ml and set near your workspace.
Build the drink
Fill the chilled highball glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes.
Add the vodka (45 ml) into the glass if making the alcoholic version.
Pour in the fresh lime juice (15 ml) and simple syrup (10 ml) over the ice. These brighten and balance the sweetness of the Red Edition.
Gently stir once with a bar spoon (about 3 slow rotations) to combine—avoid vigorous stirring to keep the drink fizzy.
Finish & serve
Garnish the rim with a lime wheel or wedge. Optionally drop 3–4 fresh cranberries into the drink for visual appeal.
Serve immediately with a straw. Note: omit vodka to serve a non-alcoholic mocktail with the same proportions.
