Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 1 ½ ounces vodka
  • 5 ounces cranberry juice
  • Lime wheel for garnish
  • Frozen cranberries for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice.
  • Add the vodka followed by the cranberry juice.
  • Garnish with a lime wheel and frozen cranberries for garnish if using. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  1. You can mix up flavors by adding a splash of other juices. 
  2. This can be scaled to make a large pitcher full and then stored in the refrigerator for a party later. 
  3. Feel free to use fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries, or just leave them out entirely. 
  4. For even more flavors, try using flavored vodka. Try using a whipped vodka, vanilla vodka, citrus vodka, orange vodka, lime vodka or even pineapple vodka to go with your cranberry juice.
  5. Wait to pour drink over ice until you're ready to drink so you don't end up with melting ice making a diluted cocktail.
