peel & grate 1 large section of ginger. put grated ginger into cheesecloth and squeeze out juice. put the ginger juice, plus two parts vodka (i like svedka), one part triple sec, 3 parts cranberry juice, and ice into cold martini shaker. shake. serve. enjoy. this is a great "girly" drink for those who dont like girly drinks. it's delicious but also very potent.
