For the Cocktail
Shaking the ingredients with ice until "well-chilled" will properly dilute and aerate the drink, giving it the right texture.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces citrus vodka
- 1 ounce Cointreau
- ½ ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 ounce cranberry juice
- 1 wedge lime wedge (garnish)
- 1 as needed ice for shaking
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the citrus vodka, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and cranberry juice.
- Secure the lid on the shaker and give it a hearty shake until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
- Strain the liquid into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or floating in the drink.

Notes
A sophisticated libation, fit for a captain’s table. This drink is a vibrant ruby red, rich as Spanish gold, and quick as a ship’s bell to prepare. To keep it even cooler on a hot day, chill your serving glass in the provisions locker for a few minutes before mixing.
