Substitutes:

  • Vodka: If you're out of vodka, gin can add an interesting botanical twist to the drink.
  • Triple Sec: Cointreau or Grand Marnier work well as substitutes if you want a slightly richer orange flavor.
  • White Cranberry Juice: Regular cranberry juice can be used, but it will change the color and add more tartness.
  • Lime Juice: Fresh lemon juice can replace lime juice with a different citrus note.

  • Serve: Pour into individual chilled martini glasses, garnish with lime wheels or twists, and serve immediately.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:
