Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces vodka
  • 3 ounces cranberry juice
  • .25 lime

Instructions

  • To a short cocktail glass with ice, add vodka.
  • Add cranberry juice.
  • Add the juice of 1/4 of a lime.
  • Stir. Garnish and enjoy.

Notes

  • If you want this Vodka and Cranberry recipe to be a bit sweeter, you can use a little bit of simple syrup (or a flavored simple syrup like Vanilla Cinnamon Simple Syrup).
  • You can play around with the ratio of vodka to juice to suit your taste preferences. Some people just like a splash of juice.
  • Want to make this even more holiday-friendly? Make my Spiced Cranberry Juice and use that in place of plain juice.
  • See the post for flavor variations by adding one more ingredient.
To make sugared rosemary: Dip a fresh rosemary sprig into a small bowl of water. Gently shake off excess. Dip wet rosemary in a shallow plate of sugar. Let dry for a few minutes before using to garnish a drink.
