Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces vodka
- 4 ½ ounces cranberry juice cocktail
- 1 lime wedge
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a low ball glass with ice cubes to chill the drink effectively.
- Add Spirits and Juice: Pour 1 ½ ounces of vodka over the ice followed by 4 ½ ounces of cranberry juice cocktail.
- Garnish and Mix: Squeeze the juice from one lime wedge into the glass, then stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Serve: Present the drink immediately while it’s chilled and fresh.
Notes
- Use cranberry juice cocktail for a sweeter, less tart flavor compared to pure cranberry juice.
- Adjust vodka quantity to taste for a stronger or lighter cocktail.
- Lime wedge can be replaced with a lime wheel or twist for a different garnish presentation.
- For a fresher lime flavor, use fresh-squeezed lime juice instead of just the wedge.
- Serve with a reusable or decorative straw if desired.
