    Cranberry Christmas Cocktail Recipe

    s

    Last year, I posted about two Christmas cocktails that are excellent options to serve at your holiday parties. I always like to try something new and recently tried this cranberry cocktail. This recipe can be prepared in five minutes and is full of refreshing flavor.

    Ingredients

    1.5 oz Gin
    5 oz of cranberry juice
    Splash of lemon juice
    Ice Cubes
    Fresh Cranberries
    Fresh Mint Leaves

    Instructions

    Fill a glass with ice cubes, then add the Gin and lemon juice. Top with cranberry juice and stir. Taste and adjust accordingly. Garnish with fresh cranberries and mint leaves. 

    I served in gold-rimmed stemless wine glasses and added a gold striped straw to give it a festive touch. Try serving this delicious cranberry cocktail at your holiday parties…you and your guests will enjoy!
