Surprising absolutely no one, this drink is pretty damn easy. The idea here is for a pleasant gin cocktail with familiar flavors enhanced by the botanicals in a good gin that vodka just simply doesn't have, along with the richness of the liqueur.

Not all cranberry juice is created equal. I stay the hell away from any juice from concentrate (aka sour mix) so in this case, I've replaced the cranberry juice for liqueur. It works surprisingly well and the one from Leopold Bros is nice and tarty without tasting like syrup. 

1 1/2 oz Junipero gin
1 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz Leopold Bros. cranberry liqueur
1/2 oz fresh lime juice

Add all these little creatures into your mixing apparatus and turn it into something tasty.

Double strain into a martini glass and garnish with an orange peel, after pressing its oils on top of the drink.

[ Enjoy ]
