- 0.25 ounces lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 piece lime wedge or twist (for garnish)

Instructions
Chill a martini glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water for about 5 minutes before preparing the cocktail.
In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, and lime juice.
Add ice cubes to the shaker and securely close the lid.
Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to thoroughly chill the mixture.
Remove the martini glass from the freezer or empty the ice water, ensuring the glass is nicely chilled.
Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled martini glass using a fine-mesh strainer or the built-in strainer on the shaker.
Garnish with a lime wedge or twist on the rim of the glass. Optionally, float a few fresh cranberries in the drink for a festive touch.
