Cranberry Vodka Cocktail

Cranberry vodka cocktails are a favorite cocktail at my house because of how simple they are to make while being so tasty. We always have the ingredients on hand so they can be whipped up any time we have a hankering for one. I like to serve it with fresh lime juice over ice but I included some other variations below to try. If you don’t want the drink to get watered down from the ice melting, try freezing the cranberries and using them instead of ice.
