This cocktail was a happy discovery.  I was craving a well known cranberry orange cocktail, but I started wondering about flavors. What about adding orange juice instead of lime juice? Hmmm…. So I gave it a try and swapped out lime juice for orange juice.  Well my curiosity was rewarded with this yummy double orange cranberry vodka cocktail.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces Grey Goose Vodka
1 ounce Cointreau Orange Liqueur
1/2 ounce Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
2 ounces Cranberry Juice – 1 1/2 ounces
1 Orange Peel

Carefully peel orange (avoiding the white pith) over your martini glass. Rub orange peel around the rim of your glass to enhance flavor.
Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, orange liqueur, orange juice, and cranberry juice. Shake for 15 to 20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker develops an icy-cold frost.
Strain into a martini glass and garnish with an orange peel.  Enjoy!
