Enjoy a refreshing Cranberry Gin and Tonic with Rosemary, a delightful winter twist on the classic gin and tonic. This cocktail blends tart cranberry juice and lime with bitter tonic water and herbal notes from gin, garnished with fresh cranberries, lime slices, and a fragrant rosemary sprig for an aromatic finish.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Glass Ingredients

  • Ice, to fill the glass about three-quarters full
  • 3 lime slices, divided
  • ½ cup fresh cranberries, divided

Drink Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounces gin, chilled
  • 1 ½ ounces cranberry juice, chilled
  • 3 ounces Indian tonic water, chilled
  • 1 rosemary sprig, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass about three-quarters full with ice. Add 2 lime slices and half of the fresh cranberries into the glass to infuse flavors and provide a festive look.
  2. Add the liquids: Pour in 1 ½ ounces of chilled gin and 1 ½ ounces of chilled cranberry juice over the ice and fruit mixture. This combination forms the tart and herbal base of the cocktail.
  3. Top with tonic water: Slowly pour 3 ounces of chilled Indian tonic water on top to add bitterness and effervescence that complements the gin and cranberry flavors.
  4. Garnish and serve: Garnish the cocktail with the remaining lime slice and cranberries. Place the rosemary sprig on the rim of the glass for an aromatic touch. Serve with a straw if desired and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use chilled ingredients to keep the cocktail cold without diluting it quickly.
  • Fresh rosemary enhances the drink’s aroma, but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Cranberry juice can be homemade or store-bought; use unsweetened or lightly sweetened for balance.
  • Adjust lime and cranberry quantities according to taste preference.
  • This cocktail is best served immediately to enjoy the freshness and carbonation.
