Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your coupe glass with ice or place it in a freezer. Remove the ice from the glass before serving.
  2. Cut the orange zest.
Instructions
  1. Add vodka, cointreau, lime juice, cranberry juice and simple syrup to a shaker.
  2. Fill the shaker with ice.
  3. Shake hard for 8-12 seconds.
  4. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  5. Squeeze the oils out from the zest and place it as garnish.

Common Mistakes

Avoid using the orange zest on the rim of the glass. The orange zest leaves bitterness - you only want the citrus oils to be sprayed over the drink
