Method
Cocktail

Measure and add liquids
Add 2 oz citron vodka, 1 oz triple sec (Cointreau), 1 oz cranberry juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional for balance) into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake
Add 6 large ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is very cold and the mixture is well diluted and slightly frothy.

Prepare glass
If you used ice water to chill the glass, discard the ice water now. Optionally rub the rim with a lime wedge for aroma.

Double strain and serve
Using a cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or just the shaker's strainer if you don't have a fine strainer), pour the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass. This removes small ice shards and pulp for a clean presentation.

Garnish
Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface (or lightly squeeze a lime wheel) and drop the twist or wheel into the drink as a garnish.

Serve
Serve immediately while cold. Enjoy responsibly.
