Notes

Pro Tips

A Cranberry Vodka Sour is easy to shake, but a few small adjustments help you get that bar-style finish every time you make it.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best taste.
  • Shake the egg white well before adding ice.
  • Keep your simple syrup chilled for a cleaner flavor.
  • Use clear ice for a more polished look.
  • Add a tiny splash of cranberry for deeper color.
  • Chill your glass first for slower dilution.
  • Taste before serving if you like sharper drinks.
Trying minor adjustments helps you find your ideal balance, especially if you make this often.
