Sugared Cranberries and Simple Syrup
- ½ cup granulated sugar divided
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup cranberries fresh

Instructions
Cranberry Gin
- Make the cranberry gin infusion by adding the gin and ¼ cup of halved cranberries to a clean glass jar, and leave in a cool, dark place for at least one day.
Sugared Cranberries and Simple Syrup
- Combine ¼ cup of the granulated sugar and the ¼ cup of water in a small pot over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat, add the cup of cranberries, and let them soak for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cranberries and place them on a baking rack to dry for at least one hour. Save the simple syrup in a clean jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
- When ready to use the cranberries, put them in a small bowl with the remaining sugar and toss to coat.

- Garnish with three or more sugared cranberries on a cocktail pick. Enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional information provided for this gin cranberry cocktail is estimated and will vary depending on the number of sugared cranberries and amount of sugar stuck to them!
- Adjust the syrup and/or lime juice to taste, depending on how tart or sweet you prefer your cranberry gin cocktail.
- For a quick version of this cranberry gimlet, use 2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of cranberry juice cocktail, and three-quarters of an ounce of lime juice. Garnish with a lime twist. You can use 100% cranberry juice, but you will need to sweeten it to taste.
