On a small baking sheet, freeze fresh cranberries. Do this days in advance or up to one hour in advance.
In a cocktail shaker or an easy-to-pour container, add cranberry cocktail juice, vodka, and fresh orange juice. Stir.
Add a handful of frozen cranberries to the bottom of the drink glass. Pour ¾ cup of the drink mixture into the cup.
Next, add ¼ cup of club soda. Feel free to add more club soda if you want more bubbles. Be aware it will dilute the drink down. It will be more like drinking a flavored water than a cranberry vodka drink.
Add a slice of orange and serve!
Notes
Cranberry juice must be the cranberry juice cocktail type, not the 100% cranberry juice.To make a pitcher, quadruple the recipe.
