Notes
Keep ingredients and martini glass chilled before mixing for best results.
Fresh lime juice works better than bottled versions.
The cocktail can be made sweeter by adding more cranberry juice or triple sec.
Store-bought pink sugar works fine, but mixing regular sugar with a drop of red food coloring creates a custom shade.
