Cocktail Week day THREE brings us this simple and savory Orange Cranberry Gin and Tonic!

Stephen has been a regular gin and tonic drinker for a few years now but I’ve only recently jumped on board. Turns out, different gins can make a big difference in the drink and I only truly like certain ones. Right now, Hendrick’s gin is by far my go-to!

I decided to put a spin on this familiar cocktail by swapping out the lime for a different, more seasonally appropriate citrus: orange. I also added in some cranberry juice and it’s all such a dependable combination!

To make it all straightforward, I used store bought cranberry juice and then fresh squeezed the orange juice since oranges are cheap and straightforward to find right now. I’ve always had an orange obsession and don’t see myself giving them up anytime soon:)

Making this Gin and Tonic is especially straightforward. Everything gets mixed together in a glass over some ice. No muddling or shaking or anything fancy. Only pour everything into your cup and give it a good stir with some ice. DONE.
