Add the ice, chilled vodka, and cranberry juice in a lowball cocktail glass (at least 12-ounce capacity). Gently stir to combine.
Garnish the glass with a lime wedge and optional fresh cranberries.
Before drinking, squeeze the juice of the lime wedge into the cocktail. Enjoy!

If you do not have your vodka chilled, your cocktail will still taste great. Having the vodka chilled means that you do not need to use as much ice in your cocktails, and this helps not to have the drink watered down with melting ice.
A great way to determine if your glass size will work for this recipe is to fill it with one cup of ice, then add three-quarters of a cup (6 ounces) of water. If your glass holds all the water and ice, then your glass is a good size for this drink. If your glass is a little smaller, you can add less ice to the glass to ensure that your glass will hold all vodka and cranberry juice.
You can omit the optional garnish of fresh cranberries, but the lime wedge and squeeze of lime juice are suggested for serving.
