Method
Cocktail
Prepare and combine
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 1 tbs Cointreau, 1.5 oz Smirnoff Raspberry vodka, 2 oz cranberry juice, 1.5 oz fresh orange juice and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 0.25 oz simple syrup.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosty. This both chills and lightly dilutes the cocktail for balance.
Strain
Double-strain (pour through the shaker strainer and a fine mesh if available) into a chilled coupe or a rocks glass filled with fresh ice, depending on preference. For a more elegant presentation, serve straight up in a coupe; for a longer, chilled sip, serve over ice in a rocks glass.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and an orange twist tucked into the drink. Optionally drop 1–2 fresh raspberries into the glass for color and aroma.
Serve immediately. Estimated single-serving alcohol content will be moderate; sip responsibly.
