Ingredients

Cocktail Ingredients

  • 4 oz gin
  • 4 oz cranberry juice
  • 2 oz club soda
  • Fresh cranberries for garnish
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add 4 oz of gin and 4 oz of cranberry juice along with ice cubes to chill the mixture effectively.
  2. Shake Well: Shake the mixture vigorously until well chilled to blend the flavors and cool the drink thoroughly.
  3. Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into glasses filled with ice cubes to keep it cool and refreshing.
  4. Add Club Soda: Top each glass with 2 oz of club soda to add a lively fizz to the drink.
  5. Garnish: Finish by garnishing each glass with fresh cranberries and a wedge of lime to enhance both visual appeal and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime wedges instead of bottled lime juice to get the best citrus aroma and flavor.
  • For a sweeter variation, add a splash of simple syrup or use a sweeter cranberry juice blend.
  • Ice cubes help keep the cocktail chilled but avoid over-diluting by using large ice cubes.
  • Fresh cranberries not only garnish but also add a slight tartness if muddled slightly before shaking.
