Happy Christmas Eve!! I can’t believe today is the last post in the advent calendar series. I’ve had SO much fun bringing you guys a new post every day, and today, we’re finishing with a nice, celebratory festive cocktail!
Every year, I look forward to the festive period so much, then it turns up and is crazier and busier than the year and Christmas day arrives before we know it and somehow I wish I’d taken it a bit slower and spent more time just being in this season.
That being said, I am SO glad that I’ve done this advent calendar series! It’s been the most intense blogging period I’ve ever had, and I am so thrilled with how much you guys have all enjoyed it! It makes my heart happy to see all your lovely comments and pictures of recipes you’ve made. I hope everyone has found something they like from the 24 days.
What better way to end 24 days, and the end of my working year, than with a nice cocktail? This gorgeous, ruby drink is based on gin and cranberry juice, with a little lemon juice in there, just for a little hint of something zingy.
It’s the perfect way to finish the Christmas Season on a high, and I’ll be enjoying a glass (or two) over the next couple of days!
Thanks for all your support during these few weeks! I’ll be back before the new year with a new recipe for you, so for now, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Catch up
Cranberry Gin Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 measure Gin (2 if you like)
- 150 ml Cranberry Juice
- 10 ml Lemon Juice

- Fresh Cranberries
- Mint Leaves
Instructions
- Fill a tumbler glass with ice cubes and add the gin and lemon juice. Top with the cranberry juice and stir. Taste and adjust the quantities how you'd like.

This is so lovely (even if I can’t actually have cranberries!) – it looks and sounds incredibly refreshing!

Thanks Nico! xx
This is EXACTLY my kind of cocktail! I know I’m a little late, but I wish I had one of these in my hand to ring in the New Year!
Never too late for a good cocktail!
