Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 1 oz Cointreau
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- 0.5 oz lime juice
- 1 strip orange peel
Instructions:
- Fill a martini glass with ice and water to chill while preparing the drink.
- Add the vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice into a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker to the brim with ice, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for a full 20 seconds until the shaker is frost-white on the outside.
- Discard the ice from the chilled glass and double-strain the mixture into the glass.
- Twist the orange peel over the surface of the drink to release the citrus oils, then drop it in or perch it on the rim.
