Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Josh makes great cocktails. Be like Josh. Use a top shelf vodka and real cranberry juice (not cranberry "drink") for what we're sure will soon be your new go-to drink.

4 ounces premium vodka
8 ounces Cointreau
2 ounces cranberry juice
2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
2 ounces club soda, lemon lime soda, or passion-fruit soda (more to taste or as desired)
Maraschino cherry or pineapple wedge for garnish
Pour your vodka, Cointreau, and cranberry and lime juice into a shaker with ice.
While that sits, pour soda into a chilled martini glass. I like to use a passion-fruit flavored seltzer, but any mildly flavored soda or even club soda will do. Shake the ingredients in your shaker and pour into the martini glass.
Garnish with a colored Maraschino cherry (I like to use the blue-colored ones) and/or a wedge of pineapple on the rim. Yum!

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
