CranberryLimeCoctail

An easy, crowd pleasing cocktail, using ingredients you have on hand. Somedays you just need a simple cocktail, something you can make with out having to run to the store to locate some rare liquor.  It’s nice just to have a cocktail in your repertoire that you can make with just a few simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Cranberry juice, vodka, mint and lime combine to make this simple drink.


ingredients:

1/2 cup cranberry pomegranate juice

2 shots of vodka

zest and juice of 1 lime

8 mint sprigs

ice

direction:

Fill two small cocktail glasses with ice, then pour in 1/4 cup or more of cranberry pomegranate juice or juice of your choice. In a cocktail shaker, mix 2 shots of vodka with ice, 6 mint sprigs, lime zest and lime juice. Shake to combine. Pour lime/vodka mixture over the cranberry juice. Top with a couple of extra mint leafs.

Notes

you can choose to stir the juice with the lime/vodka mixture or leave it as separate layers . I like to keep them as separate layers so that the sweetest sips are at the end.
