Orange-Cranberry Gin and Tonic

 

This tasty little number is really great all year, but something just says holiday to me!

Ingredients

1 (2-inch) orange rind strip

1 tablespoon fresh cranberries*

1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup ice cubes

3 tablespoons gin

1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

1/4 cup tonic water

Preparation

Muddle orange rind strip, fresh cranberries, and sugar in a cocktail shaker. Add ice cubes, gin, and fresh orange juice. Cover with lid, and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled (about 30 seconds). Pour into an 8-oz. glass; top with tonic water. Serve immediately.

*Frozen cranberries, thawed, may be substituted.
