Have all ingredients, accessories and garnishes ready. Including a cocktail shaker.

Pour the cointreau, cranberry juice, lime juice, and vodka into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.

Garnish with lime wedge or lemon slice.

If you're like me, I like my drink in a chilled glass for a cool effect. Simply chill the cocktail glass with ice beforehand, pour it out, and then pour the ingredients in the glass.
