A refreshing and vibrant cocktail perfect for any occasion.
Fill a mixing glass halfway with ice.
Using fresh ice ensures the drink stays cold and doesn't dilute too quickly.
Add the cranberry juice, sparkling water, vodka, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the mixing glass.
Squeeze the lime juice directly into the glass for the freshest flavor.
Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Avoid over-stirring to maintain the fizz from the sparkling water.
Pour the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
Use a strainer if you prefer a smoother drink without pulp.
Garnish with a lime wheel or fresh cranberries and serve immediately.
Presentation matters; a well-garnished drink is always more appealing.
