Ingredients  

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz cranberry juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz triple sec
  • 1/4 cup fresh cranberries
  • Rosemary sprig (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions 

  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle fresh cranberries to release their juices and flavor. If you don’t have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon.
  • Pour 2 ounces of your favorite gin into the shaker. Choose a gin with botanical notes to complement the festive flavors.
  • Add 1 ounce of cranberry juice to the mix. Ensure it’s 100% pure cranberry juice for a vibrant taste.

  • Squeeze fresh lime juice, adding a zesty kick to balance the sweetness. Add 1/2 ounce to the shaker.
  • Sweeten the concoction with 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less.
  • Pour in 1/2 ounce of triple sec, an orange-flavored liqueur that enhances the citrus notes in the cocktail.
  • Fill the shaker with ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously. This chills the mixture and incorporates all the flavors.
  • Strain the cocktail into a festive glass filled with ice. The vibrant red color will get you into the Christmas spirit.
  • Garnish your Christmas Cranberry Cocktail with a fresh rosemary sprig. This adds a hint of pine aroma, reminiscent of the holiday season.
