Vodka
Vodka is the canvas of our cocktail, providing a clean, neutral base that allows the flavors of the other ingredients to shine. Using 1.5 oz strikes a balance that offers potency without overpowering. Too much, and you'd be walking in a tipsy lasso of truth; too little, and Wonder Woman might fly away unnoticed.

Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice adds a sharp and slightly sweet edge, giving our cocktail its vibrant, ruby hue resembling Wonder Woman's armor. 3 oz makes it the dominant flavor, so any more might turn the drink into the Crimson Tide, less, and it's just a blushing sidekick.
Mary Mitkina
Orange Juice
Nothing says 'golden lasso' like the golden color of orange juice. It brings citrus sweetness and brightness, and 1 oz is enough to balance the tartness of the cranberry without turning the drink into a breakfast beverage. If it's not included, you miss out on the 'truth' of the flavor combo.
Alex Green
Grenadine
The magic lasso of our cocktail, 0.5 oz of Grenadine sweetens the potion and creates a layered sunset effect. Miss out on it, and you lose the sweet touch that unifies the flavors. It's like having a Wonder Woman without her iconic lasso.
Emma Rose
Lemon
A slice of lemon is not just a garnish; it's an aromatic invitation to taste. As finishing touch, it rounds out the sharpness and adds a zesty pop on the nose. No lemon? Then you might not get that refreshing aroma that says, 'Welcome to Themyscira.'
Alternatives: If you wish to experiment, try flavored vodka to add a twist, like raspberry or vanilla. Use pomegranate juice instead of cranberry for a deeper mythological spin, or add a splash of soda for some effervescence.

In case you forgot basics how to make Wonder Woman
Add your ingredients to the shaker first, then ice. Fill it up to ¾ of its capacity to ensure enough space for shaking. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on the top and one on the bottom) and shake vigorously. The shake should come from your shoulders, not your wrists.
Learn everything on how to shakePlace your chosen strainer on top of the shaker or mixing glass, ensuring a secure fit. Pour the cocktail into a glass through the strainer, which will catch solid ingredients and ice. If double straining, hold the fine mesh strainer between the shaker and the glass.
