EQUIPMENT

Shot glass (unless you can free pour way better than me or, fun fact, a shot = 1 Tbsp)

Drink shaker (technically not needed but fun)

INGREDIENTS

Triple Sec

Vodka

Lemon Juice (fresh squeezed if you are feeling energetic and have fresh lemons but the bottled stuff works just fine)

Cranberry Juice (I use the low calories stuff but I am sure any would work)

Ice

Sugar

METHOD

Take your glass and wet the rim with lemon juice (if you are using whole lemons, run the lemon around the edge, if you are using the bottled stuff just figure out how to get the rim a little wet with lemon juice) and then pour some sugar on a plate and dip the rim of the glass into the sugar. I may go a little overboard on the sugar, don't judge!

Into the shaker combine:

1 shot each of Triple Sec and Vodka 

2 shots of lemon juice

1/2 cup (ish) of cranberry juice

Ice

Then (you guessed it) shake it up. After you shake for 30 seconds to a minute (let the ice make the drink nice and cold) pour through the stainer part of the shaker into the glass. You get a cold drink but without ice in it, I drink them fast enough that they don't get warm 🥴

Note - the first time I made these I didn't have the shaker, I just put everything into a "normal" drinking glass and stirred it instead of shaking, then poured through a strainer into my "fancy" glass. It was a little messy but it worked. Then I was shopping at Winners and there was this little bar set with a double sided shot glass and a shaker for something like $11 so it came home with me and no mess since!
