Vodka
Citrus vodka is the usual. Plain vodka works.
Cranberry
100% juice if you can. Cocktail juice is sweeter.
Lime
Fresh. It is what keeps the drink sharp.
Shake
Until the tin hurts your hand.

FAQ
Glass
A coupe or a martini glass.
Sweet
Cut the cranberry before you add sugar. You should not need sugar.
Batch
Shake each one. Lime fades.
Garnish
An orange peel, not a lime wedge in the glass.
