Juniper Cranberry Gin Sour Recipe

Twist Cocktail Recipes
A crisp, evergreen twist on the classic gimlet, the Forest Gimlet pairs gin, fresh lime, and pine needle simple syrup for a clean, woodsy sip. Bright and tart up front with soft alpine notes, it tastes like a quiet hike through the forest—just with a better buzz.

Notes

Twist on the Recipe

Add 2 drops of orange bitters for a subtle citrus lift and extra depth. It's really good splashed right on top of the foam.

Mocktail Version

  • Replace gin with non-alcoholic gin, following the same method
  • Or substitute the gin with sparkling cranberry juice for a lighter, more refreshing build
Keep the lemon and juniper syrup for balance, and include aquafaba if you want that classic sour-style foam.
