Orange Cranberry Gin and Juice Ingredients

To make this holiday gin cocktail, you will need the following ingredients (go to the recipe card below for quantities and instructions):

• Gin: You can use any brand, but I love Tanqueray No. 10
• Orange juice, fresh squeezed
• Cranberry juice
• Ice
• Garnishes: fresh cranberries, orange wheels, and mint

How to Make an Orange Cranberry Gin and Juice Cocktail

1. In a cocktail shaker, add the gin and orange juice, shake vigorously to combine.
2. Pour the cranberry juice into a highball glass. Fill glass with ice.
3. Slowly pour in the orange juice and gin mixture, you want to do this slowly so most of the cranberry juice stays at the bottom of the glass.
4. Add garnishes of your choice and serve.

How to Make Perfect Orange Slices

My knife skills are not great. My orange slices are always inconsistent thicknesses or I end up using a dull knife. But I love to make cocktails at home. If you love to serve up cocktails at parties, you might want to invest in a mandoline slicer. Get perfect slices of orange, lemon, and limes in record time.

Pomegranate Mimosa – This lovely mimosa is a beautiful red color perfect for Christmas morning. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and pomegranate arils. 

Caramel Hot Chocolate with Rumchata – Rumchata is a cinnamon vanilla liquor. Add to hot chocolate with caramel and you have one AMAZING hot cocoa.
