The story behind Cranberry Vodka Highball
Cranberry gives this Russian-inspired vodka highball a familiar northern-berry tartness. Lime and soda keep the ruby drink dry and refreshing enough for a casual early-evening pour.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
