Equipment

  • Grab a shaker to mix the ingredients well.
  • A jigger helps measure the liquids precisely. ✨
  • You'll also need a strainer to pour the drink without ice.
  • Don't forget a stirrer to blend flavors smoothly when needed.
  • If you prefer, a citrus juicer comes in handy if you want freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • A set of glasses is necessary to serve this delightful drink.
  • A few garnishing picks can help add a creative touch to your presentation.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to create this tasty drink:

  • 1.5 oz of vodka
  • 2 oz of cranberry juice
  • 1 oz of apple cider
  • 1/2 oz of fresh lemon juice 🌟
  • Ice cubes
  • Cranberries and apple slices for garnish

The combination of these ingredients provides a unique blend of sweet and tart flavors, making it refreshing yet cozy. Feel free to adjust the quantities based on your preference. 🍏

Instructions

Let's get started!

  • First, fill the shaker with ice. Pour in the vodka, cranberry juice, apple cider, and lemon juice.
  • Shake it well until everything is cold and combined. This usually takes about 15-20 seconds. 🌿
  • Next, strain the mix into a glass filled with fresh ice. This keeps your drink from getting watered down.
  • Finally, garnish with cranberries and apple slices. Stir gently to combine.

Your cocktail is ready. I love how easy this is!

    Notes

    For a non-alcoholic version, simply leave out the vodka. Enhance flavors with a splash of sparkling water if desired. 🍸 This drink is versatile and can be adjusted for servin' in larger quantities at gatherings.
    Consider the seasonality of your garnishes as fresh apples and cranberries provide the best flavor. Always aim for fresh juice when possible. Feel free to share your thoughts and variations in the comments below! 😊
