Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. Absolut Mandrin vodka
  • 1 oz. cranberry juice
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • lime wedge (to garnish)

Combine all ingredients over ice in a highball glass. (Make it pretty by pouring the orange juice in first, then slowly pouring the cranberry over it to get a layered drink.)

Switch it up:

Use a different flavored vodka like Absolut Cherrykran.
Use more or less orange or cranberry juice to suit your tastes.
