Description
A refreshing and simple Cranberry Gin Cocktail, perfect for any occasion, balancing tart cranberry with botanical gin and bright citrus.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin
- 3 ounces cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail, if possible)
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup (or to taste, adjust for juice sweetness)
- Ice
- Fresh cranberries and a lime wedge or twist, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add gin, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
- Shake well until thoroughly chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
- Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass or an ice-filled rocks glass.
- Garnish with a few fresh cranberries and a lime wedge or twist.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Using 100% pure cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail) will result in a tarter drink, allowing for better control over sweetness with the simple syrup.
- Adjust simple syrup to your preference based on the sweetness of your cranberry juice.
- For an extra festive touch, consider using sparkling water or prosecco to top the drink for a Cranberry Gin Fizz variation.
