Wonderul, festive drink for a Christmas party. I had my girlfriends over last night for our annual ladies' night out gift exchange and everyone loved this drink. It's light and refreshing. Some of us added more juice and some a little more vodka! So everyone was happy with their own version.

Great holiday cocktail! I am hosting the appetizer portion of a progressive dinner and plan to pre-mix the ingredients in multiple amounts. Then, when time to serve, just need to shake and serve!

To my personal taste, this was more like a 2.5 as written, but I realize a lot of people probably like stronger drinks than I do. After following the recipe the 1st go-round, I modified using cran-apple juice instead of cranberry & sweet vermouth instead of dry in the proportions and only about half the vodka called for. Stayed with the called-for amount of triple sec . If you like a sweeter drink, you may enjoy this version.

I had two friends over for a "martini sampling night" and we all liked this--- but not as much as the Bikini Martini on this site.

I am not a big fan of cranberry juice but I really enjoyed this drink. It is as little strong when mixed exactly as the recipe states. I added a little more cranberry juice and a little less alcohol and it was perfect!

Made this martini for a New Year's Eve party and it was a huge hit. It is wonderful!!! Only adjustment we made was to add an extra jigger of cranberry juice. Also tried the recipe using Cranberry-Pomagranat juice. Even better! Great recipe you just have to try!

I will not make this again following this recipe. It tasted watered down and barely like cranberry. To make this drinkable, I had to add undiluted frozen cranberry juice, fresh lemon juice, and a bit of simple syrup.

This was a big hit for Thanksgiving cocktail. I rimmed the glass with the juice of a slice of lemon and left on the rim for garnish. The lemon added another layer of flavor that complimented the drink very well. I will use recipe often!
