This is a must have drink in every holiday party! Gin and holidays go hand in hand, so do cranberries and holidays. The gin adds to the festive touch in this Cranberry Gin Smash.

Cranberry Gin Smash

Gin and holidays go hand in hand, so do cranberries and holidays. The pine and juniper scent of gin may make it not so much a favorite with some, but if you love gin, then this cocktail should go on your list to make for the holidays.

Gin is the essence of this cocktail but feel free to use vodka if you are not a big fan of gin. It may not be as Christmas-y but it will still be a pretty darn good cocktail!

I love a smash any day. When you add fresh ingredients like orange, in this Orange Bourbon Smash or Cranberries, Rosemary  and Ginger in this Cranberry Gin Smash, it just releases all those wonderful oils and flavors from these and gives such a beautiful depth in taste to the cocktail.

How do you make a cranberry gin smash?

First, you muddle some fresh cranberries, rosemary and ginger, add some peychaud's bitters and gin with ice and cranberry juice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled glass and enjoy!
