Ingredients

1 cup Cranberry juice
1/2 cup Fresh cranberries
1 tbsp Raw honey
4 tbsp Lime juice
1 6.8 oz Tonic water
10 drops Juniper tincture
1 can Sparkling water
Mint for muddling and decoration, a few leaves

Instructions

Prepare the honey: If your honey is thick, mix it with a small splash of warm water until it becomes pourable. Let it cool before using.
2. Muddle the cranberries and mint: Add a few fresh cranberries and mint leaves to a cocktail shaker or mason jar. Gently muddle to release their juices and aromas. Don't pulverize the mint. Pressing it too aggressively can make it taste bitter.
3. Add the cranberry juice and lime: Pour in the cranberry juice and freshly squeezed lime juice. Add the honey and stir until everything is combined.
4. Add the juniper tincture: Start with just a few drops, following the tincture's recommended serving amount. Stir and taste. You can always add a little more, but you cannot take it out!
5. Prepare your glass: Fill a glass with ice. Pour and finish: Strain the cranberry mixture into the prepared glass.
6. Top with tonic water and a little bit of sparkling water and gently stir.
7. Garnish and serve: Finish with extra cranberries, fresh mint, and a lime slice. Serve immediately while the bubbles are lively.
