Classic Gin Fizz Cocktail

You can’t go wrong with this classic gin fizz cocktail recipe. It’s uncomplicated, fresh, light, and timeless. Jump to the full Gin Fizz Cocktail Recipe now or read on to see how we make it.

We love this easy recipe, it’s so refreshing and light. You can play around with other ingredients to add, too. We’ve already shared a rosemary lemon gin fizz with you and by simply swapping the gin for sloe gin, you create an entirely different drink altogether.

Making a Classic Gin Fizz

All you need is 5 minutes and a few simple ingredients. For this cocktail, you will need:

• Gin (we go for mid range gin)
• Sugar
• Fresh Lemon Juice (fresh really is best, here)
• Club Soda

To make it, mix the gin, lemon juice, and a little sugar. Add ice and fill to the top of your glass with club soda. Simple!

By the way, if you (or anyone you’re making this for) wants to skip the gin, the lemon juice, sugar and club soda is pretty tasty.

Classic Gin Fizz Cocktail

• PREP 5mins
• TOTAL 5mins

You can’t go wrong with this classic gin fizz cocktail recipe. It’s uncomplicated, fresh, light and is a hit all year round. When we buy club soda, we prefer to buy the “sodium-free” bottle.

You Will Need

2 ounces (4 tablespoons) gin

1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon powdered sugar

3 to 4 ounces club soda

Directions

Shake gin, lemon juice and powdered sugar in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Add club soda and garnish with lemon slice.

Adam and Joanne's Tips

• For an alcohol-free version, leave out the gin and add more club soda. The slightly sweetened lemon juice mixed with club soda is very refreshing.

Substitue gingerale for the club soda – terrific drink.

wow realy l like it..

This is an awesome cocktail ! So refreshing especially on a hot summer day! Great tutorial Thanks for sharing . 🙂

That’s actually called a Tom Collins. Technically speaking, for that to be a Gin Fizz you’d omit the ice and garnish, and serve it in a fizz glass, which is essentially a shorter looking Collins glass.

Classic Gin Fizz Cocktail Recipe

• 3 mins
• Prep: 3 mins,
• Cook: 0 mins
• Yield: 1 Cocktail

The Gin Fizz is a classic mixed drink that is much like a Whiskey Fizz, the main difference is found in the base spirit used. These two drinks are not alone as a number have taken the 'fizz' name over the years (see below the recipe).

The Gin Fizz has a very light, sour citrus flavor that allows the gin to shine through. Because of this, I would recommend using a good, quality gin. It doesn't have to be ​the best gin in house, though it's important to be aware that there is little in the drink to mask a cheap gin's undesirable notes.

You have options when making this drink:

• Instead of the juice and sugar you can use either juice and simple syrupor a fresh sour mix.
• The choice between lemon and lime is a personal one, though I have found that I prefer lime with the really dry London dry gins and lemon with those with those that have a lighter juniper profile.
• An egg is often used in a Gin Fizz and some of the variations below switch up the portion of the egg used. Though it is optional, an egg white Gin Fizz (sometimes called a Silver Fizz) is just a little bit better and more interesting than one made without it (which makes the drink, essentially, a Gin Rickey). Try this one with an egg and see what you think. Read more about using eggs in cocktails.

What You'll Need

• 2 ounces gin
• Dash of​ lemon or lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar
• 1​ Egg white (optional)
• 3​ ounces Soda water
• 1​ Maraschino cherry for garnish

How to Make It

1. Pour the gin, juice, sugar, and egg white into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
2. Shake vigorously. More than usual if using the egg white to ensure it is mixed thoroughly with the other ingredients.
3. Strain into a chilled highball glass with ice cubes.
4. Top off with soda water.
5. Garnish with a cherry.

Variations on the Gin Fizz:

• Royal Fizz - add an entire egg
• Golden Fizz - add an egg yolk
• Silver Fizz - add an egg white

• Diamond Fizz - use sparkling wine instead of soda
• Green Fizz - add a dash of creme de menthe

More Fizz Cocktails:

'Fizz' can be used to name almost any carbonated drink, but these particular recipes use the name and are great variations to this classic mixed drink.

Ginger Grapefruit Fizz Cocktail

Ingredients

• 1 Ruby Red grapefruit
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 ounces vodka, such as Tito's
• 2 ounces ginger ale

Directions

Preheat the broiler.

Remove some of the grapefruit peel for a twist garnish, then cut the grapefruit in half. Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet flesh-side up and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the tops. Place under the broiler until the sugar is caramelized, about 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, fill a highball glass with ice and add the vodka. Remove the toasty grapefruit and squeeze the juice into the glass. Top with the ginger ale and garnish with the grapefruit twist.

Hibiscus Fizz Cocktail

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 6 hibiscus or red zinger tea bags
• 1 cup grapefruit juice
• 1 cup reposado or gold tequila
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 lime, chopped
• 1 orange, chopped

• 3 cups cold lime or orange club soda, or seltzer

Directions

Combine the sugar and 3 cups water in medium saucepan set over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Add the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the bags, return the mixture to the heat and cook until reduced by half. Transfer the mixture to a container with a lid, and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.

Combine the cooled hibiscus syrup, grapefruit juice, tequila and lime juice in a pitcher. Add the limes, oranges and raspberries, and then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.

Fill tall glasses with ice and add about 1/2 cup of the mixture to each. Then fill to the top with the cold club soda and serve.

  The Fizz Cocktail

  The Fizz cocktail is a long drink, named so because the many variations that can be prepared all have one thing in common: carbonated water and/or fizzy juices, or acidic juices such as those extracted from lemons or limes. Thus, the mixed drink can be prepared with a variety of alcoholic beverages and fizzy drinks, depending on preference and taste.

  Fizz Cocktail picture

  Being quite an old beverage, the origins of the Fizz cocktail are not completely clear; we do know that the first written account of it appears in Bartender’s Guide by Jerry Thomas, in the 1887 edition. In there, the name of the drink is spelled ‘fiz” and there are six different recipes. We also know that the cocktail became very popular in America in the 1900-1940s period, and today it is considered a New Orleans specialty. The most popular form back then and now was the Gin Fizz; in fact, it was so popular that bars where it was served would have to hire additional bartenders just to have extra people shaking all the fizzes. The Fizz cocktail became popular internationally when it was mentioned in L’Art Culinaire Francais, a French cookbook published in the 1950s.

  Like we mentioned above, the Gin Fizz is the most popular recipe, and its official IBA ingredients are as specified:

  • 45 ml Gin
  • 30 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 10 ml Gomme syrup
  • 80 ml soda water

  Being a long drink, this Fizz is served in a tumbler or a highball glass; you fill the glass with ice, and then pour all the ingredients over, stirring to level the taste. The drink can be garnished with a slice of lemon, but for other recipes you can use all kinds of garnishes, from strawberries to mint, lime wedges, kiwi, lemon peel, orange slices, maraschino cherries, cucumber slices, rosemary or whatever else goes with that particular recipe.

  Another popular variation is the Ramos Gin Fizz, which is made with gin, lime juice, lemon juice, cream, sugar, egg white, soda water and orange flower water. This variation is also known mainly for being produced in New Orleans, and apparently it was invented in 1888 by Henry C. Ramos at the Imperial Cabinet Saloon, his bar. Reportedly, the drink had become so popular at one point that the bar hired twenty bartenders who did nothing else but mix and shake the Ramos Gin Fizz.

  Here are some other well-known variations of the Fizz cocktail:

  • Golden Fizz – egg yolk is added;
  • Silver Fizz – egg white is added;
  • Diamond Fizz – the soda water is replaced by sparkling wine;
  • Royal Fizz – a whole egg is added;
  • Green Fizz – creme de menthe is added.

  Somrus Fizz Cocktail Recipe

  

  • 3 mins
  • Prep: 3 mins,
  • Cook: 0 mins
  • Yield: 1 Cocktail

  A very interesting and unique cocktail, the Somrus Fizz is one that you will want to experience sometime in your life, particularly if you are a fan of Indian cuisine. It was created by Benjamin Newby, Somrus’ brand mixologist in the spring of 2015 and it is a delicious drink.

  I have recently found a new appreciation for Indian food and have found this fizz to be a perfect follow up to the spiciest of curries. It has a cool, refreshing appeal and a number of somewhat more exotic elements that contrast those traditional spices.

  The drink's main feature is Somrus, an Indian cream liqueur with a few traditional spices of the country (more on the liqueur below) and that is paired with gin and limoncello. The orange blossom and rose waters are great accents and the egg and soda give it a fizzy creaminess that makes drinks like the New Orleans Fizz so appealing.

  Notice that this recipe does not rely on the seemingly endless shaking required for many egg cocktails. Instead, it takes an easier route and uses an immersion blender to create a stiff, creamy liquid that, if done properly, should make a straw stand up straight. It's a good shortcut that may save your arms, though if you want to shake, feel free as it's always good to use the bar as a workout as well!

  What You'll Need

  • 1 1/2 ounces Somrus Cream Liqueur*
  • 1 ounce gin
  • 1/2 ounce limoncello
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 drops orange blossom water
  • 2 drops rose water
  • 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar
  • 1/2 scoop of ice

  How to Make It

  1. Buzz the mix with a hand blender until ice has diluted.
  2. Empty contents into a pilsner glass.
  3. Top with soda water.
  4. Add a single straw in the middle of the drink and it should stay suspended.

  *About Somrus Liqueur

  Somrus - The Original Indian Cream Liqueur - is in an Indian cream liqueur made from a blend of Caribbean rum and 'pure dairy cream.' It is flavored with cardamom, saffron, almond, pistachio, and rose.

  A great cream liqueur for cocktails, Somrus can be substitute for other cream liqueurs such as Baileys or RumChata (though each of these have a unique flavor). Somrus can also be used in baking or as a dessert topping and it makes an excellent addition to a cup of chai.

  How Strong is the Somrus Fizz?

  There are many factors that play into exactly how strong a finished Somrus Fizz will be and we can only make a rough estimate. With a 80 proof gin, a 54 proof limoncello, and about 1 ounce of soda, the drink would weigh in right around 18% ABV (36 proof). This is about average for a mixed drink.

  Cranberry Gin Fizz Cocktail

  This is my favorite cocktail from the beginning of Fall all the way through the Holidays. So pretty and festive and with fantastic seasonal flavors, the Cranberry Gin Fizz Cocktail does not disappoint!

  

  I spied the Cranberry Gin Fizz Cocktail that inspired me to make this cocktail in Bon Appetit magazine when I received their October 2011 issue in September of that year. Though clearly a fall cocktail, at that time we were having a hot streak and the notion of fall or cranberries seemed in the distant future.

  Fast forward and suddenly 95 degrees would require that we combine our daytime and nighttime temperatures and add some to boot! We had two back to back big snowfalls in Denver and nothing says fall quite like leaves and snow falling at the same time!

  

  I can’t deny I have a strong proclivity to almost anything cranberry. Maybe it was the year I discovered them after a childhood of associating cranberry sauce with a cylindrical form with ring marks embedded in the shape. I HATED that stuff; ergo I hated all things cranberry by association. Luckily I politely tried some fresh cranberry sauce at a friends once; everything changed and now this time each season I look forward to seeing what can be done with these pretties.

  This cocktail is not just pretty though. While I do love the festive look that can take us from the day after Halloween all the way to the end of the year, it’s the combination of ingredients that make it spectacular. Cranberry, citrus, ginger ale and, or course, gin all meld together to offer a crisp, not too sweet and altogether refreshing cocktail.

  I freely admit I’m a Costcoaholic and buying a bag of cranberries means I have to design several uses. I often have them steeping in a pot on the stove with some cinnamon and orange zest; I love having my home scented for the holidays with something other than a room spray. I also love to decorate my holiday tables with them in bowls of water with floating candles. They float and surround the candles and it makes for a natural and beautiful table decoration.

  

  But you really don’t care about my holiday decor, right? It’s all about the beverage! Beyond the berries, the lemons and orange slices, I think it’s important to use a good quality gin as well as a quality ginger ale. I used Bombay Sapphire gin, it’s my go to gin for cocktails and I’ve also become hooked on ginger beer which I’ve been getting at World Market; a very ginger ale it is!

  The original recipe called for adding sherry but I substituted ginger ale and it’s perfect…just that little bit of fizz adds a welcome element; ginger beer would also be a great choice if you can find it. But you know what’s important that is probably not often considered for cocktail success? Ice. When my ice maker went on the fritz; I recalled seeing that the local Sonic drive-in sold ice. I bought some to use until my ice maker was repaired and now I can’t stop. I just love the small round pellets that are so crunchable. For this cocktail that requires you mound some ice on top, it’s especially perfect!

  No Sonic? No problem but for best effect; try to find an ice that is prettier than the moon shaped ones from your freezer; the look really can make the drink!

  I hope you’ll join me and make this Cranberry Gin Fizz Cocktail during the Fall and holiday season; it’s not just a pretty face. Cheers!

  how about non alcoholic.

  Creative Culinary says

  Sure, just eliminate the gin and add a bit more ginger ale.

  Hi ! Just wanted to let you know that we’ve added this recipe to our top 100 recipes for thanksgiving 2015! Check it out: https://ohmydish.com/100-best-thanksgiving-recipes-for-2015/ 🙂

  Has anyone tried this without the gin and with a quality ginger “beer” for a more robust ginger flavor? We have forsworn alcohol for the holidays, but are looking for good drinks to incorporate in our celebration.

  Thanks for any input.

  I should have spent some time reading the 115 comments before I leaped. All good inputs.

  Creative Culinary says

  I have mentioned to someone wanting a non alcohol version that they could just up the ginger ale but the ginger beer is a great idea Jerry; I haven’t tried it but I’m sure it would be perfect.

  This looks yummy! I would love to try it for Thanksgiving but serve it pitcher style. Ice bucket on the side. Would it be alright to double the recipe, prep an hour before company arrives, then let sit for company to fix at their leisure? Or does it need to be served immediately?

  Creative Culinary says

  I would suggest that you can do exactly as you suggested except for one thing; if you can hold off on adding the ginger ale until your company is due to arrive it would be best. It’s what provides the carbonation (the fizz in the name!) and I’m afraid it might go flat if it were sitting out for too long. Have everything else prepped and chilled and then add the ginger ale as late as possible and I think it would be great. It’s a great drink…so hope you and your company enjoy it!

  is there a substitution for the gin? to make it a mocktail

  Creative Culinary says

  I would make it simple and just eliminate it and add a bit more ginger ale. If you didn’t want the additional ginger element; then maybe a bit of either cranberry juice or some club soda? I think any of those would make it a great mocktail! Let me know if you do something and if you like the results, OK?

  This is the prettiest cocktail, ever. Wow. I can’t wait to try it!

  Creative Culinary says

  We just love it; not a heavy and overly boozy cocktail, it sings with the combination of the cranberry and ginger ale and it’s just the perfect look. Hope you love it too…you can comment again!!

  Hi, love your drink idea and will definately be trying this on Christmas day.

  I included it in my blog today, with credit to you ofcourse. Hope that is ok

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks Eva…we do love it too!

  The cranberry fizz cocktail sounds delicous minus the alcohol for me plz 🙂

  Creative Culinary says

  I’ve done those for friends Cynthia…still a very refreshing and beautiful drink!

  Suzie DeMarco says

  Just pinned this beautiful cocktail and the photography is great! Are the glasses yours and if so do you recall were you purchased them? Just perfect!

  Creative Culinary says

  Suzie, the glasses are mine but were a gift almost 30 years ago…so I have no idea where they came from! They are a favorite I won’t deny and sure wish I could help. The cocktail is really good too…and as you can see, so perfect for a holiday cocktail. Enjoy!

  Suzie DeMarco says

  Thank you for responding so quickly. I’ll be on the lookout for something similar. Love your site!

  Creative Culinary says

  Thank you Suzie…those words literally are music to my ears.

  This one is such a beauty!

  Creative Culinary says

  One of those photos that turned out just as I had hoped…so thanks! An all time favorite on the blog too. I LOVE cranberries so much; am thinking now what to do for this season. There will be sugared cranberries for a garnish…that is the one thing I do know!

  Hahaha – and I guess I thought so before too 😉

  Not sure if anyone else has suggested it yet, but since you live in the Denver area, try Cap Rock gin. It’s the best gin I’ve had and local (as well as organic) to boot!

  So – I must have missed this one! Once again I’ll face the problem of no fresh or frozen cranberries here in the Wide Brown Land, but I still think I can work this for Christmas. Pinning now, thanks!

  This cocktail looks good as well as tests good. I just love it.

  Something with a little spirit to get you through all the family events and office parties.

  We posted your festive drink and your BLOG on our website. I hope it brings you new followings to your website that we think is fabulous. have a Merry Christmas!!

  Creative Culinary says

  Thank you…it has been the perfect holiday cocktail!

  I made these for a family Christmas celebration. I’m always in charge of bringing a cocktail, and these were a huge hit. Sonic ice and all! I did sub vodka for gin as I’m not a gin drinker and didn’t want to have any left over. But it turns out that we loved these so much that I wouldn’t have had to worry about that b/c in the end we ran out of vodka. I’m happy to say that they looked just as lovely as in your pictures.

  Creative Culinary says

  So glad you loved the cocktail too and it was such a success for you. Vodka…absolutely! Or guess I should say Absolut!

  What kind of ice maker do you have to make that kind of ice? I have been looking for a ‘crushed’ ice maker- but the size you have in the pictures looks perfect. Love the recipe and the site- thanks!

  Creative Culinary says

  Julie, I have no idea what kind it is because mine is broken and I have become totally addicted to ice from the local Sonic Drive In; they sell their ice by the bag and I love it so much I’ve not considered getting my ice maker repaired. They are right next to the bank I use for business so very convenient to pick up a bag every week. I should probably get my icemaker fixed but not sure if that is smart because I know I’ll still want an ice bin filled with these perfect cubes!

  Creative Culinary says

  I think I sent you a personal response but thought I would answer here too! I go to Sonic Drive In for my ice. My ice maker broke, I saw they sold bags of ice and now I don’t want to get it repaired cause I love their ice better than what my ice maker produces. So for me? Sonic it is.

  This was so much sticky work, and not at all worth it. It was too sweet, which was worsened by the ginger ale, and the cranberry flavor lost its tartness to the sugary syrup. We switched from ginger ale to club soda to kick a bit of the sweetness, but eventually were adding cranberry juice to get some of the tartness back. This really begged for a gingery kick– something more like a ginger syrup.

  Ounce measurements are much more useful to drink recipes, but that’s mainly the fault of the Bon Appetit original.

  Creative Culinary says

  I didn’t experience that at all but it was important to use a good gingery ale which I suggested. Most grocery brands are almost like 7-up and way too sweet. Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

  Can I leave out the gin? What can I use to substitute the gin?

  Creative Culinary says

  Leave out all alcohol or need a substitute for the gin? If subbing the gin, vodka would also be good. If leaving out entirely then I would just add a bit more ginger ale to the other ingredients.

  What’s also good, if you just take the syrup, crush all the berries and spread over vanilla ice cream. Yum!

  Creative Culinary says

  Agreed! I saves the berries I used for making cranberry liqueur and did the same thing.

  Tried this recipe last night and it is delicious. Not too sweet and has a great taste. But watch out…the flavors disguise the alcohol so enjoy slowly! 😉 I will definitely be making this again.

  GORGEOUS. Can’t wait to make these for Christmas!

  Question: where did you get your silver coasters?

  Creative Culinary says

  You’re in luck because I just recently purchased those coasters online through Pottery Barn. They have a whole line of antique looking serverware; I got these, an ice scoop and a set of salt and pepper shakers.

  I have a question: Would it taste okay if I were to let the gin and cranberry mixture steep over night in my fridge? I am trying to make this drink in advance.

  Creative Culinary says

  So sorry I got to this late…hope you did it because I think everything is doable ahead of time except for adding the ginger ale. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

  This drink looks divine! Would it be terrible to replace the gin with vodka? Has anyone tried that? I will be making this for Thanksgiving!

  Creative Culinary says

  I would have no problem switching those two out Maria; I haven’t done it but would if I didn’t have gin in the house.

  I would like – maybe – to give your recipie with picture on my blog…Is it Ok for you ?

  If yes could you you tell me the photo credit/name of photographer of your Cranberry Ginger Fiiz Cocktail ?

  Tahnk you and happy sunday ! Martine;

  Creative Culinary says

  I appreciate your asking Martine…enjoy.

  Love this found the picture on Pinterest was intrigued and now I am going to make it for Thanksgiving!

  Creative Culinary says

  I hope you enjoy it; it’s a great refreshing cocktail; glad you found me!

  Wow! I love this. It is perfect for my Christmas party coming up, but I made a mini batch today and loved it. Thank you. I have to ask, how do you get that kind of ice? It looks like the ice from some restaurants, but is it possible to have at home, too? (Thanks in advance.)

  I found you from Pinterest, but I have bookmarked your site and will be back frequently!

  Creative Culinary says

  They really are good aren’t they Lara…not just a pretty face is right huh?

  Funny story. My ice maker went on the fritz so I started buying bags of ice from Sonic; they sell them for about $2/bag. I love it so much I never got the icemaker fixed. So if you have a Sonic drivein in your neck of the woods; that’s their ice. One caution? It’s little and starts to melt fast so I keep a cooler in my car for my ice runs. Regular ice would never present so well but if you are stuck with it I just wouldn’t pile any up on top I guess?

  THANK YOU ever so much. There is a Sonic not too far from here but getting ice will make it a priority to get there.

  Thanks again and all the very best to you.

  Creative Culinary says

  You too Lara; if you make the cocktail, take a photo for me; would love to see it.

  looks so colorful and refreshing

  Love this one! So perfect for the holidays.

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks Carolyn, I couldn’t agree more and I’ve actually had one!

  Ooh, I love all things cranberry… This cocktail sounds so refreshing!

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks Jen. I’m in the process of making cranberry liqueur right now. If you love cranberry you should try it; so good and a bonus? So pretty too.

  They should just ban that awful jelly in the can, I can see why people would hate cranberries after eating that. I’ve got to check out the Boylan Ginger Ale you mentioned, I love everything gingery, the stringer the better.

  Creative Culinary says

  Aw Sylvie, a woman after my own heart….it is horrid stuff isn’t it. I’m trying to think but just can’t recall the brand they said is most often bought…but I’ve been using Boylan and am happy with it; it’s certainly far beyond the grocery store brands; that’s all I know. Would certainly recommend it’s worth your trying.

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks…appreciate the sweet comment!

  Creative Culinary says

  Doggone it…I could use one now too but am already ensconced in my bedroom. The comfort of being cozy tonight wins!

  Love Friday and cocktails. Heck, all weekend. This looks amazing, Barb. I love seasonal drinks and this looks like it tastes incredible. Perfect for the holidays! Beautiful.

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks much Mike; I’ve come to really enjoy these posts; nice that there is no limit to cocktails to be made. Or to be drunk. 🙂

  It is definitely all about the beverage with this cocktail, Barb. This is perfect for the holidays. I have a strong affinity for all-things cranberry and ginger, so this sounds so good to me.

  Creative Culinary says

  Then you would love this cocktail Dara. The original recipe called for sherry and that didn’t even sound good; it’s perfect with ginger ale.

  Yum Barb!! I need to make this right away. Your photos are GORG!!

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks Heather…sometimes they come together and sometimes I need a drink when I’m done…this was nice. I had both. 🙂

  Questa Knapper says

  That looks heavenly… Another use for fresh cranberries… Dip them (quickly) in melted white chocolate/almond bark or dark chocolate… Tart and sweet and crisp little bite… Yummy.. They are a staple within my cookie plates and given in a little tin within a gift basket… 😀

  Creative Culinary says

  On my…I know I’ll love these and you are so right…all of my holiday gifts are homemade goodies; these would be a perfect addition. Thanks!

  sounds like a wonderful cocktail and what gorgeous photos!

  Creative Culinary says

  Thank you so much Shelby; compliments on my photos mean the world to me. I’m a cook who is trying to learn this whole photography business. Completely self taught, it’s a long road so when I get a good review; well, you’ve made my day!

  Have I told you that I love your blog? I really do. I love anyone who loves a good cocktail. I aspire to post more cocktails on my blog, but I find that I drink them before I photograph them. Oh well? In any case, this looks season and perfect. I will be drinking this beverage shortly…I am so glad you shared!

  Creative Culinary says

  Well, you have not so thank you so much Lindsay…you’ve made my day! When you do get one made, be sure to add it to my blog; I post a cocktail and that link tool every Friday; you can add a cocktail or an appetizer when you have one. Old or new I don’t care!

  I do want to hear about your fun holiday decor and I bet your house smells wonderful! Another fantastic cocktail. I am going to have a holiday get together just so I can make this drink:)

  Creative Culinary says

  You are too cute. I actually have some tall cylindrical glass holders. Three different sizes. I put cranberries in each one with water and a floating round candle and then tie a decorative bow around each. That the cranberries float is what makes it so pretty and that they are bornn into water is nice too…they stay for quite awhile. I just rinse them off and put in fresh water every couple of days. That’s my centerpiece!

  What a beautiful cocktail, Barbara!

  I love cranberries, too! This drink is so pretty and perfect for the holidays.

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks…I admit I’ve become somewhat of a cranberryaholic too. I just can’t get enough of them and am sad when the season is over.

  Cheers to the weekend, Barb! I love the fresh flavors and color of this cocktail and can just imagine how refreshing it tastes 🙂 And the ice pellets and cranberry garnish, definitely, the crowning touch.

  Creative Culinary says

  Those little candied berries for garnish…they are most definitely a treat. I’m making cranberry liqueur now too; talk about great berries…the chopped berries that are strained out are NOT pitched…they are soooo good, those little vodka soaked gems.

  Creative Culinary says

  Sometimes that’s exactly how I feel. Uh, yum. Perfect.

  I bought a bag of fresh cranberries today–my 1st ever (well, if you don’t count the bag I bought last year, forgot about, and they rotted before I could use them). They are destined for this recipe. Thanks!

  Creative Culinary says

  You must try making your own cranberry sauce too Carrie; it’s so easy and so beyond better than anything you can buy.

  This looks so refreshing and I bet it tastes almost as good “virgin”

  Creative Culinary says

  I know it would. You can tell the gin is there but it’s so subtle, I would serve this ‘virgin’ in a heartbeat and it would still be great.

  Ron was just getting ready to take Max for a walk and I had to call him over to look at the picture of your cocktail. We both agree it is absolutely stunning! What a lovely holiday drink and so pretty and full of good cheer (no pun intended, I meant the look of it makes me smile).

  By the way, I love hearing about your holiday decorations and the floating candles with cranberries is a new and lovely idea I just may use 😉

  Creative Culinary says

  Well, thank you…and thank Ron. It is full of good cheer and cheers to you Paula. And Ron. 🙂

  This reminds me that I need to buy cranberries. And sugar. And a big jug of vodka.

  Creative Culinary says

  Been there…mine are brewing now; easiest doggone thing in the world AND I love the leftover vodka soaked cranberries.

  stunning photos! this sounds refreshing and tasty.

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks Kristina…you know how sometimes you know yourself that one is good? I just loved the results of this effort too; it so catches how this cocktail tastes!

  That bevvy looks perrrfect! Your pic grabbed me and pulled me in. 🙂

  Creative Culinary says

  Well, glad to have you come visit Jenny. I do a new cocktail every Friday; so hope you’ll come back! Cheers.

  This is definitely a cocktail that I would enjoy!! Too funny about the ice – at work we have an ice maker that makes those small pellets and despite having rooms of appliances guess which one gets the most attention? The Ice Maker.

  Creative Culinary says

  I have even gone so far as to calculate whether it’s worth getting the ice maker fixed. 18 year old fridge + $2/bag for ice X how many years the fridge will last = is the ice maker worth spending money on for repair? Yes, I love this ice a lot!

  I missed the past couple of Happy Hours and I’m not missing this one! YUMMY cocktail, and I love the colors. Picking up gin on my way home tonight from work ;D xoxo

  Creative Culinary says

  You missed them? Oh no…of all the things NOT to be missed are the cocktails girl!

  I was impatiently waiting for your Friday guzzle…as I had one to share with you! If I lived in cranberry country, I would be stirring this beauty now!! It’s gorgeous Barbara!!

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks so much for participating Deeba and don’t forget, appetizers are welcome too…hope to see you for our Friday cheer on a regular basis; wish we could clink glasses for real!

  What a beautiful cocktail. Such a gorgeous color. I used to always associate cranberries with bladder infections (I know, TMI, but you know me) so I wasn’t a big cranberry lover until I discovered fresh berries too. I have to admit that I always have the jellied stuff to slice and put on leftover turkey sandwiches. Childhood memories you know.

  Creative Culinary says

  Thank you my dear…we’ll have to share one together. I added a list of links to some of my fave cranberry recipes this morning…the sandwich with cranberry sauce is one of my favorites too.

  I, too, love just about anything cranberry. These just might be making an appearance at our thanksgiving table! Cheers!

  Creative Culinary says

  I added a couple of my favorite cranberry recipes to the post as an afterthought…and now I want everything…but I have to admit, the sandwich the day after Thanksgiving is what I crave way more than the turkey. Turkey, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, sprouts and sunflower seeds. Wish I had one now!

  What a great cocktail! I love the flavors in this drink and it is perfect for a holiday get-together. I will bookmark this one. 🙂

  Creative Culinary says

  All I can say is EXACTLY…perfect holiday cocktail.

  Just based on how pretty this cocktail is, I would be drinking a few. So festive.

  Creative Culinary says

  Remember, it’s not JUST a pretty face; though I admit, one of the prettiest I’ve ever made!

  Beautiful! That seasonal cocktail looks amazing.

  Creative Culinary says

  Thanks Rosa…and cheers to you too!

  I’m with you completely on the cranberry thing. I also think frankly at this time of year everyone is dehydrated from over boozing and over caffienating and thus the refreshing zing of cranberries is very thirst quenching. I find pink to be a very appealing color in my food and drinks. There IS no happier looking cupcake than one with pink frosting, right? This drink just presents itself as a new holiday season best friend. Someone who will happily spend cocktail hour with you every night and you’ll never tire of their company. Love your refreshing addition of ginger ale. Can’t ever go wrong with that! Love this.

  Creative Culinary says

  I’m hearing people who are committed to the canned stuff..sort of makes me cringe just thinking about it but for me it’s all texture. I’ve never much cared for jello…even if you add booze to it! This was most definitely a winner. And those little candied berries for garnish. Beyond edible.
