Method
Cocktail Base
Combine ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 6–8 large cubes). Add vodka (2 oz), Cointreau (3/4 oz), cranberry juice (1 1/2 oz), and freshly squeezed lime juice (1/2 oz).
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled. This chills and slightly dilutes the mixture for balance.
Strain
Discard ice from the chilled glass if used. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled coupe/martini glass using a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.
Finish & Garnish
Champagne float
Gently pour about 1 oz of chilled champagne or dry sparkling wine over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the cocktail. Pour slowly to keep the layers distinct.
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin lime twist on the rim. Optionally drop 2–3 fresh cranberries into the drink for color and a festive look.
Serve immediately while the Champagne float is lively. Provide a small cocktail napkin or coaster.
