Notes
- Fresh lemon juice gives the brightest flavor and keeps the drink tasting crisp, but bottle lemon juice like I used is lovely too and easier to keep on hand in the pantry.
- Homemade cranberry simple syrup gives a deeper color and nicer balance, but store bought works if you need it fast.
- Any dry gin blends well here, including budget friendly brands.
Storage
- This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh.
- You can mix the gin, lemon juice, and cranberry syrup in advance and chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- Add the club soda only when serving.
