This is my holiday party go-to because it’s as tasty as it is festive. Serve it in a beautiful glass punch bowl and you’ve got a centerpiece!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white cranberry juice
  • 4-5 oz vodka
  • 2-oz Cointreau liqueur
  • 1/2 oz sweetened lime juice
  • 1/2 cup cranberries, sugared and frozen

Directions

To prepare the cranberries, rinse well and, while they're still wet, dredge them in granulated sugar. Evenly spread the cranberries out on a small baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours.
To prepare the drink, fill a martini shaker 3/4 full with ice. Add the cranberry juice, vodka, Cointreau, and lime juice. Shake vigorously. Strain into two chilled martini glasses and garnish with the cranberries.

Cook's Notes

Add a handful of cranberries to the punch bowl for decoration. But, keep the remaining cranberries in a decorative ice bucket so they stay frozen longer.
