The Story

Ungava Gin & Cranberry Lime Cocktail

Bright, Crisp & Refreshing

There’s something magical about a cocktail that’s simple to make but tastes like it came from a fancy bar menu. This Ungava Gin Cranberry Lime Cocktail is exactly that bright, citrusy, and just the right balance of tart and sweet. It’s my go-to when I want something refreshing without fussing over a long ingredient list.

Ungava gin brings a gorgeous golden hue (and a little herbal intrigue), while cranberry juice and fresh lime give it that zippy, lip-smacking finish. It’s like sunshine in a glass only better, because it’s boozy.

Key Takeaways

  • A show-stopping golden color that’s 100% natural from the gin botanicals.
  • Perfect for both gin lovers and those new to gin cocktail recipes.
  • Easy to make in single servings or as a pitcher for friends.

Make It Extra

Want to take this cocktail from “mmm” to “OMG”? Try these fun twists:
