Ingredients:

  • 2 oz premium vodka
  • 4 oz cranberry juice, chilled
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 large lime wedges
  • 1 cup large ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Chill a highball glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes until a thick frost forms. Fill the chilled glass to the absolute brim with large ice cubes and discard any collected water.
  2. Measure and pour the vodka directly over the ice, followed immediately by the chilled cranberry juice.
  3. Squeeze one lime wedge directly into the glass. Run the second wedge around the rim of the glass to deposit aromatic citrus oils.
  4. Using a bar spoon, give the drink exactly two gentle stirs to integrate the ingredients without aerating the juice.
