Equipment
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Cocktail Shaker
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cranberry juice
- 8 ounces vodka
- 4 ounces orange juice
- 1 tablespoon grenadine extra if rimming
- ice
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar for rimming
Instructions
- If rimming your glasses, add sugar to one shallow plate and pour some grenadine on another. Dip your rim in the syrup, then into the sugar and set aside.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and pour in cranberry juice, 1 cup vodka, orange juice and grenadine and shake well.
- Strain into 4 glasses and garnish with cherries.
Notes
- Shaken/Stirred: This can be made either way, shaking chills it quickly, whereas stirring it on ice can dilute the beverage.
- Glass: Any glass works, but a wider rimmed glass allows for more presentation effects.
- Garnishes: Maraschino cherries is a classic addition to this cocktail.
- Make Ahead: Pour all ingredients into a pitcher and store in the fridge for 24 hours. Stir before serving, then garnish.
- Fresh Citrus Makes a Difference: Fresh orange juice keeps the cocktail bright.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Cranberry can vary in tartness, start light on the grenadine and adjust after tasting.
