This is a nice drink for sipping on a warm day, particularly by the pool. It’s also a great barbecue cocktail, because even though it packs a kick, it’s light and refreshing, with plenty of tart fruit juice.
The answer is, in my opinion, not really. Squeezing cranberries is a huge waste of time. And plain old Ocean Spray tastes delicious.
In this day of artisan cocktails, you might be wondering if this cocktail can be improved by squeezing your own cranberry juice, or buying some super-fancy brand of cranberry juice.
While you could substitute another brand of gin and still come out with a nice drink, I do like Sapphire in this one. It’s a lighter, milder gin than some, with plenty of complexity but no single sharp note that jumps out at your taste buds.
This drink takes the Cranberry Gin to a whole new level. The sweet and tart notes hit you first, and you finish with the juniper flavor from the gin. But the orange and lime add so much to the flavor profile.
How to Drink is a show about making drinks and how to drink them! My name is Greg and I live in NYC, one of the centers of the cocktail universe, and even though Ive never worked in a bar I sure enjoy making and drinking cocktails. When I can Ill be weaving this show into my other loves like classic movies. Ok, thats enough bio for now, lets make some drinks.
