Run the cut side of a lemon along the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into a plate of sugar, coating it evenly. Place the glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. Add ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled, about 10–15 seconds.
Strain the cocktail into your prepped glass.
Add a sprig of rosemary and a few cranberries for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Pro Tips
For an extra frosty glass, chill your glassware in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before rimming with sugar.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Lightly muddle rosemary in the shaker for a hint of herbal aroma if desired.
