Ingredients

Here's what you'll need for this tasty cocktail:

2 oz gin: Your choice of brand but I love a classic London Dry.
1 oz cranberry juice: Provides the tart punch.
0.5 oz simple syrup: Balances with a bit of sweetness.
Splash of club soda: Adds that fizzy finish.
Fresh rosemary sprigs: For muddling and garnishing.
Fresh cranberries: Optional for garnish.
Ice cubes: Keeps it chilled!

These ingredients harmonize to bring out bold flavors and refreshing vibes. Make sure everything is fresh for the best results!

Instructions

Making this cocktail is simple:

Muddle rosemary: Put a sprig in the shaker and press with the muddler.
Add gin, juice, and syrup: Pour them into the shaker.
Shake with ice: Add cubes, cover, and shake well.
Strain and pour: Into a highball glass filled with ice.
Top with club soda: A quick splash for fizz.
Garnish: Add cranberry and another rosemary sprig.

Serve immediately to enjoy the full flavor profile. The fizz is best right after pouring!

Notes

Some handy tips:

Experiment with gin brands to find your favorite profile.
Adjust the simple syrup for more or less sweetness.
Try substituting prosecco for club soda if you prefer a bit of sparkle.
Garnishes not only enhance appearance but also flavor.
