Tricks to remember:
Very Trendy Chic Ladies ( V T C L )
(Acronym for Vodka; Triple sec; Cranberry; Lime)
As it’s a sophisticated chic drink, even if it’s served in a martini glass, the vodka is made more subtle by extra cranberry, you use almost as much as vodka. The orange zest recalls the triple sec, as there’s already enough tanginess with cranberry and lime in the ingredients, no extra lime is required.
