I very much enjoy a Cosmopolitan but even more so this version with the added complexity of gin.

Great anytime cocktail. Would work well on a warm afternoon or before dinner. Lovely blend of orange, cranberry, and the herbal hints from the gin. Line add just a hint of freshness.

Any time I can use gin instead of vodka I'm happy to oblige. Definitely an improvement.

Excellent. Used Tanquary 10. Unsweetened cranberry with a dash of simple syrup. Perfect holiday cocktail.

For those who don't have pre-sweetened cranberry juice I added some agave syrup before shaking. Simply syrup would work too, but we rarely have that on hand.
