This is like a sophisticated cosmo and the color screams Christmas. Vermouth is not actually a spirit, so remember to refrigerate it and use it within a month once it is opened.

Ingredients:

Ice cubes
1 cup vodka
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1/2 cup cranberry juice
8 cranberries, frozen
4 lemon zest twists

Directions:

  1. Put 4 martini glasses in the freezer to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Just before serving, fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice.
  3. Pour in the vodka, vermouth and cranberry juice.
  4. Cover with the lid and shake vigorously up and down for about 10 seconds.
  5. Strain into the chilled glasses, dividing evenly. Garnish each glass with 2 frozen cranberries and a lemon twist. Serve immediately.

Servings: 4 cocktails.
