Sips & Tips
Technique
Use 100% cranberry juice (not cocktail) for a drier, more sophisticated drink. The lime wedge is essential — it brightens everything.
Balance
Cranberry juice cocktail is sweeter and more approachable; pure cranberry juice is tarter and more adult. Choose based on your preference.

Variations
Sea Breeze
Add 1 oz grapefruit juice for a more complex, bittersweet variation.
