I’m not sure where this originally came from (if you know, comment and I’ll update with the source!) but a friend sent this to me as a great holiday cocktail idea. I love the idea of cranberries and gin, and the color is so festive!

2 Tbsp water
1 whole lime peel (medium lime)
3 c (24 oz) Gin
Tonic water for serving.(~4 c)

Cook, stirring often, until the cranberries burst (6 min)
Cool.
Pour into large pitcher.

To Serve: Pour 1/4 c of the gin mixture over ice in tall glass. Top with 1/3 c Tonic Water.
