Why you'll love this cranberry gin co*cktail:

The perfect mix of flavors - The cranberry, orange and lime work so well together. It's not too sweet and not too tart.

This co*cktail is naturally sweet - The sugar comes naturally from fruit. I used a very low sugar tonic. THIS is my favorite one! There are 4 grams of sugar for the whole can and we're only using a couple of splashes.

Batch make this co*cktail - The recipe yields two servings, but you can easily double or triple the recipe for a crowd.

Ingredients overview:

gin - I use Bombay Sapphire which is aLondon Dry gin.
unsweetened cranberry juice - The only ingredient should be cranberry juice.
orange - We're using the juice from approximately 1 orange. Fresh is best!
lime - We're using the juice from approximately 1 lime. Again, fresh is best!
tonic water - I love using low sugar tonic water.
ice - 1 small handful for the shaker and 2 small handfuls for each glass.
fresh cranberries and rosemary sprig - For garnish!

If you don't like cranberry juice, use pomegranate juice.

You can use seltzer instead of tonic water.
