Yuletide Cocktail Recipe
Cranberry and gin pair like red wine and cheese - at least to me. Something about the tangy tartness of bright red cranberries and the frosty spruce aroma of gin seem to scream "It's Christmas!"
So here is my take on a cranberry-gin fusion with this magical Yuletide Cocktail:
❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇❇
You Will Need:
- Cranberry Juice
- Gin (I recommend Bombay Sapphire)
- St. Germain (or another elder-flower liquor)
- Ice Cubes
- Garnish of your choice
You Will Do:
Fill a tumbler glass with ice. Pour in equal parts gin and cranberry juice. Add just a splash of elder-flower liquor. Garnish with a sprig of mint, a few cranberries or a lemon wedge.
Adjust quantities to taste.*

Let me know in the comments - are you a fan of gin or do you prefer vodka? If you do not consume alcohol, what are your favorite holiday drinks?
I might have to try this for the holidays (going light on the gin though). My drink of choice is cider and even then I can only finish half a can if that.

I've always though cider was a little too sweet for my tastes, so maybe that's why I like the gin and cranberry concoction - it's more tangy an bitter. Still tastes great with minimal gin though!
