Vokda Gimlet Cocktail in a Coupe Glass

Vodka Gimlet

Though the Gimlet usually comes with gin, for that added punch, swap the gin for vodka. Add a simple syrup and lime juice to make this tangy but well-balanced drink for any occasion. I prefer it when I host a dinner party for friends, as it doesn't take long to make. However, don't overdo it with the simple syrup, or the calories will start piling up!

Vodka Cranberry

Is there any cocktail more classic than a Vodka Cranberry? Interestingly, many bartenders don't drink this drink justice because they neglect to use a hint of orange juice and Rose's lime to accentuate the natural cranberry flavor. If done correctly, this drink has high marks for a balanced cocktail that won't affect your diet.
