    Cranberry and Orange Vodka Cocktail

    Updated: Apr 11, 2024 · Published: Dec 18, 2015 by Andrea

    Jump to Recipe

    Cranberry juice adds a festive—and healthy—splash of red to your holiday cocktails. Mix it with some vodka and fresh orange juice for a refreshing drink to entertain your guests.

    This sophisticated cocktail with a crisp cranberry kick is always my first choice of drink to serve at holiday parties.

    Not only is it delicious, but it leaves a nice refreshing taste in your mouth and it's not too alcoholic. 

    Seasonal fresh orange and cranberry juice, vodka, a splash of lime and a sprig of thyme, all come together to make this vibrant boozy beverage.

    It’s sweet, slightly on the tart side, and delightfully refreshing.

    This Cranberry and Orange Vodka Cocktail is the perfect holiday drink to share with friends and family at your next party!? Recipe from www.thepetitecook.com

    Simply place freshly squeezed oranges, cranberry juice, vodka, lime and a sprig of thyme in an ice-filled shaker.

    All you have to do is shake! shake! shake! Like crazy for a handful of seconds and your holiday drink will be all ready to sip.
