Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Muddler
  • Highball glass
  • Ice
  • Strainer
  • Bar spoon
  • Knife for cutting limes

Ingredients

For one cocktail, you'll need:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz cranberry juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 2-3 lime wedges
  • Club soda
  • Ice
  • Lime wheel and cranberries for garnish optional

Use good quality vodka for the best taste. Fresh lime juice works better than bottled.

Instructions

  • Put lime wedges in the shaker and muddle gently.
  • Add vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
  • Fill a highball glass with fresh ice.
  • Strain the mixture into the glass.
  • Top with club soda and stir gently.
  • Garnish with a lime wheel and cranberries if desired.

Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed. Add more simple syrup for sweetness or lime juice for tartness.

    Notes

    This recipe is easy to scale up for larger batches. Mix the vodka, juices, and syrup ahead of time. Add ice and club soda just before serving.
    Try different flavored vodkas like citrus or berry for variety.
    For a mocktail version, leave out the vodka and add more cranberry juice and club soda.
    Freeze cranberries to use as ice cubes. They'll keep the drink cold without watering it down.
