This fall/winter/holiday inspired Gimlet is made with gin, cranberry juice, and orange cinnamon simple syrup. I opted to use Hendrick’s Gin here since it’s more citrus-forward and floral. It works well with the cranberry juice and the orange cinnamon flavors from the syrup. 

It’s a new fave for me and a great one to save for the holidays.
