Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Hawthorne strainer
  • Jigger
  • Citrus juicer
  • Cocktail glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Ice

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz vodka plain or raspberry
  • 0.5 oz Chambord raspberry liqueur
  • 0.5 oz triple sec or Cointreau (orange liqueur)
  • 1 oz cranberry juice unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 0.5 oz lime juice fresh
  • ice for shaking
  • lime wheel or twist for garnish

Instructions

  • Chill a cocktail glass in the freezer.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add vodka, Chambord, triple sec, cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice.
  • Shake firmly for about 15 seconds until the shaker is frosty.
  • Strain into the chilled cocktail glass using a Hawthorne strainer.
  • Garnish with a lime wheel or twist and serve immediately.

Notes

Fresh lime juice makes the biggest difference; bottled lime can taste dull. For a lighter drink, reduce the Chambord slightly or add a splash more cranberry juice. For a sweeter version, bump up the Chambord or use raspberry vodka. Serve in a well-chilled glass with no ice to keep the cocktail clear and undiluted.
Tasting notes: deep ruby color with raspberry, citrus, and a hint of vanilla on the nose; balanced sweet-tart palate with a smooth, silky finish.
