Tips & Suggestions

  • For a more complex tartness, soak a few dried hibiscus petals or a short strip of orange peel (minus the pith) in chilled cranberry juice for 15-20 minutes before straining.

  • Briefly press a thin sprig of rosemary between your palms before dropping it into the highball glass with ice for its delicate, resinous aroma to elevate the gin and cranberry.
