This is a dead easy vodka and cranberry cocktail that you can make a little less alcoholic for the lightweights and it'll taste just as nice. Perfect for the holidays!

Step 1: Ingredients:

3 oz cranberry juice
1-2 oz vodka (depends on how strong you like it!)
1/2 oz simple syrup (try making some cranberry simple syrup)
splash of grenadine (optional but pretty!)

You'll also want a nice glass, a shaker, and some ice. :D

If you want your cranberry cocktails to be super red, add a little grenadine to each.

Step 2: Mix It Up!

Put a handful of ice in the shaker and pour your ingredients in. (Keep in mind that 1 oz of vodka is pretty mild - use 2 oz if you want a stiff drink.)

Add a little bit of ice to the glass you'll be using, too! Shake the cocktail for a few seconds and pour over the ice. Enjoy! :D
