The Cranberry Vodka Martini became popular as part of the rise of flavoured Martini style drinks in the late twentieth century. It leans into a lighter, fruit driven profile.
Made with vodka and cranberry, it is crisp, slightly tart, and easy to drink. It is less about tradition and more about approachability. It is also a reliable crowd pleaser.
