- 1 1/2 oz vodka
- 3 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup adjust according to sweetness preference
- Dehydrated orange slice for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare Ice: Fill a highball glass with ice cubes to chill the glass.
- Build the Cocktail: In the chilled glass, add the vodka.
- Add Cranberry Juice: Pour in the cranberry juice over the vodka.
- Add Orange Juice: Add the orange juice to the mix. This adds a sweet and citrusy balance to the cocktail.
- Fresh Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of half a lime (approximately 1/2 oz) into the glass for a burst of citrus freshness.
- Simple Syrup: Add the simple syrup to the mix. Adjust the amount based on your preferred level of sweetness.
- Stir Gently: Use a bar spoon or stirring stick to gently mix the ingredients. This ensures all the flavors are well combined.
- Garnish with Dehydrated Orange Slice: Float a dehydrated orange slice on the surface of the cocktail for a visually appealing garnish. This adds a touch of elegance and a hint of concentrated orange flavor.
Notes
- Dehydrated Orange Slice: To make dehydrated orange slices, thinly slice an orange and dehydrate the slices until they are dried and slightly crispy. This can be done using a dehydrator or in a low-temperature oven.
- Simple Syrup Adjustment: Taste the cocktail before adding the garnish and adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to suit your taste.
- Presentation: Place the dehydrated orange slice carefully on the rim of the glass or let it float on the surface for an eye-catching presentation.
