This is like a... It's glass? It's like a birdbath. It was given to me as a joke, but I mean, I had to use it. And there's two of them. And there are two of them. They're like vases. Well, you don't want to drink that by yourself. So let's make that cranberry martini. You're gonna love this.

So, first thing we need is three quarters of a cup of cranberry juice, and it's actually cranberry juice cocktail, so it's got a little sugar in it.

Half a cup of good vodka. Ooh, this is from the freezer. It's from the freezer, yeah. Quarter of a cup of triple sec. Which is a sweet liqueur. Orange liqueur, exactly. Is that perfectly measured? And now we need a cup of ice. And this is the key to cocktails with ice, is you have to shake it for 30 seconds.

And what it does is dilute the cocktail enough so that it's not like that, like really harsh. So it's absolutely delicious. So how about you do 30 seconds and I'll time it. Okay. Go. It's longer than you think. That's only five seconds.

This is a day to cheer. It's really nice. Isn't that good? Yeah. You know what I love? It has no bite. It has no bite, exactly. But also, the flavors are layered perfectly, and it doesn't have that hit of vodka, even though you and I know how much is in there. The orange and the cranberry kind of bubble up a little bit. It's not too sweet, not too tart.

Isn't that, it'll be our little secret. It's just something I whipped up in the few minutes before you got here, and I actually did. And you actually did, because you planned it out.
