Ingredients
- ice
- 3 ounces gin
- 2 ounces cranberry juice 100%
- 1 ounce ginger simple syrup
- 1 ounces orange juice freshly squeezed
- 2 ounces club soda or ginger ale or ginger beer

Instructions
- Prepare the ginger syrup if you don't already have it on hand (see notes below or the other post for more information).
- Fill a large jar or cocktail shaker about halfway full with ice. Add gin, cranberry juice, ginger simple syrup, and orange juice. If shaking the cocktail, do so now, then pour and add the club soda, ginger ale, or ginger beer. Otherwise, add one of those now, then stir the drink until combined.
- Strain into either a lowball glass filled with ice or a coupe-style glass, served straight up (without ice).
- Garnish with sugar coated cranberries, a sprig of rosemary, or orange zest as desired.
