Cranberry Martini

Cranberry Martini is a crisp and vibrant cocktail that blends vodka, cranberry juice, and orange liqueur (like Cointreau or triple sec), often brightened with a squeeze of lime. It’s the perfect fusion of tart and sweet, finished with a shimmering garnish, think floating cranberries, a citrus twist, or a sugared rim for extra holiday sparkle. Whether served at a cocktail party or a cozy night in, it’s a stylish, easy-to-make drink that always impresses.
