- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge or twist (for garnish)

In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes. Securely close the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to ensure everything is well mixed and chilled.
