METHOD · 5 STEPS

Chill your serving glass. Fill a coupe or martini glass with ice and water and set it aside to chill while you mix the drink.
Combine the ingredients in a shaker. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice.
Shake the cocktail well. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. The outside of the shaker should become frosty cold.
Strain and serve. Discard the ice and water from your chilled glass. Strain the cocktail from the shaker into the prepared glass.
Garnish the cocktail. Take the orange peel and twist it over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass. Serve immediately.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Always use fresh lime juice. The bottled kind just doesn't have the same bright, zesty flavor and can make the drink taste artificial.
2
Chilling your glass is a crucial step. It keeps the drink colder for longer, enhancing the overall experience.
3
Don't be shy when shaking! A vigorous shake chills and aerates the drink, giving it a better texture and a nice little layer of foam on top.
