Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 ounces non-alcoholic gin
- 4 ounces fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 4 ounces cranberry juice
- 2 ounces agave syrup
- Ice
- Fresh cranberries, lime twists, or rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Chill two martini glasses in the freezer for 15–20 minutes.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
- Add the non-alcoholic gin, fresh lime juice, cranberry juice, and agave syrup.
- Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain into the chilled martini glasses.
- Garnish with fresh cranberries, a lime twist, or a sprig of rosemary, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice. Freshly squeezed lime juice gives this mocktail its bright, crisp flavor.
- Choose your cranberry juice. Unsweetened 100% cranberry juice creates a tarter cocktail, while cranberry juice cocktail makes it slightly sweeter.
- Adjust the sweetness. Add a little more or less agave depending on your taste and the type of cranberry juice you use.
- Serve ice cold. Chilling both the cocktail and the martini glasses makes a noticeable difference.
- Make ahead. Mix the non-alcoholic gin, lime juice, cranberry juice, and agave up to 24 hours in advance. Refrigerate, then shake with fresh ice just before serving.
- Pitcher version. Easily double or triple the recipe for entertaining and shake individual servings with ice before pouring. We find guests always want seconds.
