Cocktail

2 oz Tuaca (vanilla-citrus liqueur)3 oz Cranberry juice (100% unsweetened or cocktail, chilled)4 oz Red Bull (regular or sugar-free), chilled1/2 oz Fresh lime juice1 cup Ice

Garnish

1 piece Lime wheel or wedge4 piece Fresh cranberries (optional)

Method

Prep

Chill and measure

Chill the Red Bull and cranberry juice ahead of time. Measure out Tuaca and lime juice. Prepare ice and set out a highball glass (12–16 oz).

Build the drink

Fill the highball glass about three-quarters full with ice (approximately 1 cup). This keeps the drink cold and prevents the Red Bull from foaming excessively.

Pour 2 oz Tuaca over the ice.

Add 3 oz chilled cranberry juice to the glass.

Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors and balance sweetness.

Gently pour 4 oz chilled Red Bull over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to minimize foaming and preserve carbonation. Stir once gently 2–3 times with a bar spoon to integrate ingredients without flattening the Red Bull.

Taste and adjust: if you prefer sweeter, add 0.5 oz more cranberry juice; for more fizz, reduce cranberry by 1 oz and add another 1–2 oz Red Bull.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and optionally drop 3–4 fresh cranberries into the drink for color and a festive touch.

Serve immediately with a straw. Drink while chilled to enjoy the carbonation and fresh citrus notes.
