Cranberry Vodka

What is Vodka Cranberry?

It’s a simple cocktail and festive drink usually made for the holiday season. Created with simple ingredients such as ocean spray cranberry juice and vodka. It’s also known as a Cape Cod drink. This recipe can be enjoyed alongside some sweet honey cornbread or cheesecake. This vodka cranberry has to be the tastiest/most accessible cocktail drink 🍹 out there!

Ingredients You Will Need

Vodka Cranberry
  • Bottle of Vodka- To make easy vodka cocktails, you must have a premium bottle like Hangar, Tito’s, or Ciroc vodka. To list a few.
  • Cranberry Juice- A vodka cranberry drink wouldn’t be the same without real cranberry juice. This is what complements the drink and makes it hard to resist.
  • Lime Wedge—This refreshing cocktail uses a splash of lime. Avoid using too much lime juice, as it can overpower the drink. A hint of lime goes a long way.
  • Pineapple Juice- This is an optional step but recommended if you want a sweet and tangy taste.

How To Make Vodka Cranberry

  • Fill a glass with ice cubes, leaving some space for the other ingredients at the top.
  • Pour the vodka over the ice cubes.
  • Add the cranberry juice to the glass.
  • Squeeze half a teaspoon of lime juice into the drink for a citrusy flavor (optional).
  • Stir gently to mix all the ingredients.
  • For garnish, you can float a lime wedge on top or rub it against the rim of the glass.

Substitutions/ Variations

  • This vodka-cranberry drink is very versatile. You can add some Sprite to get that little fizz-bubbling drink. Try not to add too many ounces of cranberry juice to this refreshing cocktail.
  • Replace the cranberry juice with grapefruit juice and some simple syrup if you love grapefruit.
  • Add a few lime slices and agave nectar to the bottom of your drink for an extra tart flavor.
  • Another great way to make this fun cocktail is to quickly stir the drink with a cinnamon stick to add a hint of cinnamon. Try this for your next holiday party. It would be perfect for the Christmas season.
  • Club soda or soda water will work just as well in place of cranberry juice. The only difference is that the sweetness isn’t as intense. Since we mentioned soda, ginger ale would also be a good substitute for cranberry juice. All of these options are great ways to help with weight loss. Consider this a low-carb cocktail.

Storage

If you happen to have any of this vodka cranberry recipe leftover, you can store it in a mason jar in the fridge for later.
