Ingredients
- 100 ml (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) Vodka
- 60 ml (¼ cup) Cointreau or Triple Sec See Note 1
- 250 ml (1 cup) cranberry juice sweetened
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice See Note 2
- 1 cup ice cubes
- garnish of your choice - eg: orange, lime, rosemary
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker or jar.
- Shake well to thoroughly combine the ingredients and ensure they are chilled. Strain into a martini glass or another glass of your choice.
- Serve with a garnish if you wish. I like orange peel, a twist of lime and sometimes a sprig of rosemary for a festive touch!
Notes
- I prefer to use Cointreau but you can use Triple Sec if you prefer.
- Always use freshly squeezed lime juice, the flavour is fresher and more vibrant than the juice from a bottle.
