1
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice and set aside to chill while you mix the drink.
2
Mix
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 oz Absolut vodka, 4 oz cranberry juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add 0.25 tsp simple syrup.
3
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
4
Strain and serve
Discard the ice from the chilled glass (optional) and fill the glass with fresh ice. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass.
5
Garnish and finish
Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim. Serve immediately with a stirrer or straw.
