Add 15 mils of Cointreau.

Pour in 45 mils of cranberry juice.

Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Fill the cocktail shaker with ice and shake well.

Double strain the mixture into a martini glass.

Slice off a swath of orange peel for zest.

Light a match to burn off the sulfur from the orange peel.
