No.33 Cranberry Orange Sour
This seasonal martini has a perfect balance of sweet, citrus and spice. Fragrant evergreen, tart cranberry and earthy blood orange bring complexity to a classic sour.
Combine in a cocktail shaker:
1 ½ oz Laneway No.33 Gin
1 oz Cranberry Rosemary Simple Syrup*
½ oz fresh blood orange juice (or substitute orange or grapefruit juice)
½ oz fresh lime juice
Add ice, shake to chill and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a cocktail coupe or sour glass.
*Cranberry Rosemary Simple Syrup
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 bag (12 oz) fresh cranberries
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
This is a versatile and easy to make syrup that is also makes a delicious mocktail with sparkling water.
Add water and sugar to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add fresh cranberries and rosemary, then simmer for 15-20 minutes, until syrup has thickened and cranberries have “popped”. Allow to cool then strain into a covered glass jar. Store in the fridge.
