Cranberry Gin & Tonics are delicious and perfectly festive!
Treat yourself to a festive Cranberry Gin and Tonic (or two, or three) this holiday season! You know that you deserve it.
G&Ts taste like Christmas, right?
To be honest, I've always thought that (some) gin and tonics sometimes taste like a Christmas tree. Or at least taste the way that a Christmas tree smells. Know what I mean? Maybe? No?
Agree to disagree.
Either way, we have taken a standard (and perfectly tasty) G&T recipe and made it even more delicious and festive with the addition of cranberry juice and fresh cranberries.
How do these drinks come together?
Truthfully, it couldn't be simpler. Fill your Old Fashioned glass with ice, then pour the gin and cranberry juice over the ice. Squeeze a wedge of lime and top with tonic water. Et voila. You have yourself a very delicious Cranberry Gin and Tonic.
Please don't forget to garnish with a lime wedge and fresh cranberries!
Looking for something a little different?

I have a Holiday Gin Moscow Mule that will knock your socks off, too! Very festive. Very delicious.
