Ingredients

The Valentine Velvet requires just a handful of simple ingredients.

You’ll need 2 oz of vodka for the base.

A splash of 1 oz of orange juice brings a citrusy zing.
Use 1 oz of grenadine to give it that rich red hue.

Don’t forget some ice cubes for chilling.
If you like garnish with an orange slice or cherry for a delightful finish. 🍒🍊

Instructions

First, fill your shaker with ice cubes to get started.

Pour in the vodka, cranberry juice, orange juice, and grenadine.
Shake it well for about 15-20 seconds to mix everything up.
Then, use your strainer to pour it into a chilled glass.

Time for the final touch – garnish with an orange slice or cherry.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less grenadine. If you’re out of vodka, rum can also make a nice substitute.
