Ghostly White Cranberry Gin Martini
Course Drink
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Martini glasses
  • Measuring jigger

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces gin
  • 4 ounces white cranberry juice
  • 2 ounces dry vermouth
  • Ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons white sanding sugar
  • 12 fresh cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Rub the rims of four martini glasses with a bit of white cranberry juice. Dip each rim into the white sanding sugar to coat evenly.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the gin, white cranberry juice, and dry vermouth.
  • Shake the mixture for 15 seconds until it feels cold. Strain the liquid into the prepared glasses.
  • Drop three fresh cranberries into each glass as garnish.

Notes

Make the sugar rims ahead and let them set so they stay crisp. If the drink tastes too tart, add a splash more white cranberry juice before shaking. Skip the cranberries if you want a simpler look, but they add a nice pop of color against the pale liquid.
