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.

I would like to know where you got the glass from that you used for the Orange and Cranberry drink?

I love this recipe because the orange and cranberry really cuts the gin, making this a very drinkable cocktail.
