Step Five (optional) – For a crystal clear drink, you can now filter the vodka. This is an optional step. I don’t bother for myself, but if giving as a present I will.
Serve it as a punch:The Madras is a drink that is perfect for mixing up ahead of time to be served as a party punch. Simply increase the ingredients and stir them in a pitcher and chill until it is time to serve. Add a few slices of orange, and you have a super easy punch that your guests will love. Tip: Room temperature citrus is easier to juice than cold, refrigerated fruit. Set your citrus fruits out on the counter for a couple hours to warm up before juicing them. How to make a Cape CodderWhen figuring out how to make a good vodka cranberry, you might be tempted to shake it instead of building it in the glass. But what’s the difference in taste? And why are drinks shaken, stirred, or made in a glass? Here are a few top tips: While store-bought lime juice is great in a pinch, it’s not the wisest to use in drinks where lime is a star player. Bottled concentrate will still taste good, but if you have time to squeeze some limes, don’t skimp.
Sparkling Lime Vodka Cranberry 1.5 oz Vodka, 3 oz Cranberry Juice, Lime Sparkling Water, Lime Juice Believe it or not but the Vodka Cranberry is a type of drink where you actually will feel nuances depending on what type of vodka you use, Wheat based, Rye based or maybe even a potato one will make a difference so find the one you like best! If you’re feeling experimental, you can try making it with a flavored vodka such as Absolut Grapefruit, Absolut Peach or Absolut Raspberri! Cranberry is one of those great mixers that works with almost any spirit! While most traditional versions of a vodka cranberry use sweetened cranberry juice, this recipe uses 100% cranberry juice! Consider it a modern spin on the classic. Why use unsweetened juice here? Cranberry juice with vodka (aka a Cape Codder) is easy to sip and a popular choice for novice drinkers. So, it’s no wonder this tasty pink drink has a bit of a reputation for being a college drink. And it makes sense. The taste of the cranberry juice is sweet and tart, and the lime adds a lovely zesty twist, making it very drinkable and perfect for beginners. Over the years, I have seen many variations of this classic drink, each with its unique twist. Some bartenders add a splash of lime juice or orange juice to enhance the flavors.

Later, I decided to try it with vodka. Over the years I’ve perfected the recipe, adding a few spices and leaving it to infuse for a week. I am so happy with the result. It’s so much nicer than letting uncooked cranberries infuse.
What does a vodka cranberry taste like?
It is not essential to filter your Christmas vodka, but I think that the results are well worth it. The easiest way is to use a sieve lined with kitchen paper If you plan on making lots of liqueurs that need filtering, it is worth investing in an inexpensive filter coffee cone and filters. Your vodka will look prettier and pour easier if you decant it into a bottle. You can sterilize the bottle if you want, but as long as it is clean there should be no real need. Store in a cool, dark, cupboard, as you would other spirits. This Christmas cranberry vodka will keep well for up to a year (if you let it!). Hints and tips
Homemade liqueurs are very common in the Mediterranean, especially Greece, Albania and Italy. Homemade liqueurs with oranges, lemons and other fruits are traditional gifts during the holidays. It helps to use a new cheesecloth (folded for best results) over the metal strainer to get a clear and not cloudy liqueur. Also called the Cape Cod drink, the Cape Codder is the most common version. It gets its name from the coastal town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which is known for its cranberry bogs.

If you find the cranberry juice makes your drink too tart, stir in ¼ to ½ ounce of simple syrup, to taste. Don't forget the fresh OJ: You can make fresh cranberry juice, but it's honestly easier and cheaper to buy it by the bottle. However, orange juice is a different story, and you'll save money and have a better-tasting drink if you take a minute to squeeze a little fresh juice. It's easy and doesn't require a fancy juicer.

There are lots of ways to use this. Add it to your cranberry sauce for Christmas Day (strictly for the grown ups!) or use it to top vanilla ice cream. Add it to microwave chocolate fudge or use it in my fruit tea loaf recipe (skip the soaking in tea stage). It’s also great for a day in hot weather. It’s perfect for poolside or anytime you’re going to be out in the heat. If you like this drink…
