A delightful twist on the classic cosmopolitan, this Vanilla Cranberry Martini combines the sweetness of vanilla with the tartness of cranberry for a refreshing cocktail.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Using fresh ice ensures your cocktail is chilled properly.
Add the vanilla vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the shaker.
Measure the ingredients accurately for a balanced flavor.
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 10 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.
Shaking the mixture properly ensures the flavors are well combined.
Rim the martini glass with vanilla sugar by dipping the rim in lime juice and then in the sugar.
Rimming the glass adds a decorative and flavorful touch.
Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared martini glass.
Straining removes any ice or pulp for a smooth drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vanilla Cranberry Martini.
Serve with a lime wedge for an extra garnish.
