Cocktail Base

2 oz vodka3/4 oz Cointreau (orange liqueur)1 1/2 oz Cranberry juice1/2 oz Fresh lime juice

Finish & Garnish

1 oz champagne or dry sparkling wine (for float)1 to taste lime wheel or twist (garnish)3 pieces fresh cranberries (optional garnish)1 cup ice

Method

Cocktail Base

Chill glass (optional)

If desired, 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 it.

Combine ingredients

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 6–8 large cubes). Add vodka (2 oz), Cointreau (3/4 oz), cranberry juice (1 1/2 oz), and freshly squeezed lime juice (1/2 oz).

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled. This chills and slightly dilutes the mixture for balance.

Strain

Discard ice from the chilled glass if used. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled coupe/martini glass using a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.

Finish & Garnish

Champagne float

Gently pour about 1 oz of chilled champagne or dry sparkling wine over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the cocktail. Pour slowly to keep the layers distinct.

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin lime twist on the rim. Optionally drop 2–3 fresh cranberries into the drink for color and a festive look.

Serve immediately while the Champagne float is lively. Provide a small cocktail napkin or coaster.
