I love this because I can make a huge bottle full (minus the lemon and ice) and keep it in the fridge ready for anytime over xmas. It is from the Barefoot Contessa herself! We have it every Xmas but I always forget the recipe, so I am saving it for posterity. i have converted it from ounces.
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup Cointreau liqueur
- 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail, such as Ocean Spray
- 1 cup good vodka, such as Grey Goose
- Ice
In a pitcher, stir together the lemon juice, Cointreau, cranberry juice cocktail, vodka. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice and pour enough of the drink mixture into the shaker to almost fill it. Shake the cocktail for a full 30 seconds (it’s longer than you think!) and strain into martini glasses. Serve ice cold.
