Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz vodka (preferably citrus-flavored)

- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh lemon slices or twists for garnish
- Coarse sugar for rimming the glass (optional)
Instructions
- If you want to rim your glass with sugar, start by preparing it. Take a lemon wedge and run it around the rim of your martini glass. This will help the sugar stick.
- Pour some coarse sugar onto a small plate. Invert the glass and dip the rim into the sugar, twisting gently to ensure an even coating. Set the glass aside to let the sugar adhere while you prepare the cocktail.
- In a cocktail shaker, add a generous amount of ice cubes.

- Add 1 oz of triple sec.
- Squeeze in 1 oz of fresh lemon juice.
- Add 1 oz of cranberry juice.
- Pour in 1 oz of simple syrup, adjusting to taste.
- Secure the lid on your cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
- Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture into your rimmed martini glass.
- Garnish with a fresh lemon slice or a twist of lemon peel.
- Admire your creation and enjoy the refreshing blend of flavors.
Notes
- For a fizzy twist, add a splash of club soda.
- Infuse your vodka with fresh fruits or herbs for a unique flavor.
- For a party, multiply the ingredients and mix in a pitcher, shaking each glass individually.
