White Cranberry Vodka Cocktail
A White Cranberry Vodka Cocktail is a refreshing drink with a smooth blend of cranberry and vodka, offering a crisp, slightly tart flavor. It’s a simple yet flavorful choice for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka choose a smooth, quality brand
- 4 oz white cranberry juice fresh or store-bought
- 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed for the best taste
- Ice cubes as needed
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
- Lime wheel for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Glass
- Start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice. This will help chill the ingredients as you mix them.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- Add the vodka, white cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the shaker. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want to make sure everything is well mixed and chilled.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
- Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. If you don’t have a strainer, you can use the lid of your shaker to hold back the ice while pouring the cocktail into the glass.
Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy
- Garnish with a few fresh cranberries and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. This adds a pop of color and a little extra zest to your drink.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the sweetness of this cocktail by adding a little more lime juice or using a sweeter white cranberry juice. I’ve found that a balance of tartness and sweetness works best, but you can always make it your own.
