Note : The proportion of cranberry juice greatly depends on its purity; if you have a 25% juice, then 3 cl would be needed, otherwise 0.75 cl ( not only for the good red orange pink balance ^^ ). I’m not a fan of lemon vodka, since fresh lime is already added. Anyway I prefer the ketel One Citroen to the Absolut. As for Cointreau, I find it too marked in my humble opinion. The recipe gets closer to the “Daisy” rather than a tinkered “Harpoon” or “Kamikaze”.
