Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces gin
  • 2 ounces pure cranberry juice
  • ½ ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ ounce simple syrup
  • 2 ounces prosecco or champagne
  • cranberries for garnish optional
  • sugar rim for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker.
  • In the cocktail shaker, pour gin, cranberry juice, simple syrup, and lime juice. Secure top on the shaker and shake for 30 seconds.
  • Pour beverage into a cocktail glass. Add prosecco or champagne to the top of the drink. Serve with a garnish of fresh cranberries and/or a sugar rim.

Notes

  • This recipe was created with 100% pure cranberry juice. If you use cranberry juice cocktail, you don’t need to add the extra sweetness of the simple syrup.
  • A Christmas champagne cocktail or prosecco cocktail is extra festive, but if you don't have either of these, sparkling water or tonic water would be a good substitute.
  • Don't add prosecco or champagne to the cocktail shaker, pour this ingredient in the drink at the end.
