Method
Cocktail

Build and shake
Add gin, fresh lime juice, elderflower liqueur, cranberry juice, simple syrup, and orange bitters to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled.

Strain
Double-strain the mixture through a Hawthorne strainer and fine mesh strainer into a chilled Collins glass (or highball) filled halfway with fresh ice to remove tiny ice shards and any pulp.
Top & Garnish

- 4
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint (slap it once between your palms to release aroma), a lime wheel or twist on the rim, and 2–3 frozen cranberries dropped into the drink for visual flair and a chill element.
Serve
- 5
Serve immediately while fizzy. Encourage guests to sip through the mint aroma and enjoy the balance of floral elderflower, bright lime, tart cranberry, and juniper-forward gin.
