Gin Cocktail... Rosy Cheeks

The weekend is just about here and will bring some warm temperatures and what better way to relax than with a cocktail. A gin cocktail, that my husband calls... Rosy Cheeks! His play on words, although I do agree, as the colour reminds me of how ones cheeks become rosy after being out in the cold during the winter months. Winter months aside, this is a bright crisp cocktail.   

Rosy Cheeks

5 oz of Gin

2 oz of Dry Vermouth

1 oz of Rose's Cranberry Twist Mix

a dash of Angostura Bitters

2 cheeries for garnish, optional

Place a couple of ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. Add the gin, dry vermouth, cranberry twist, and bitters and shake, respectfully. Pour into a martini glass and add two cherries for garnish, if you wish. Cheers and enjoy! 

There will be plenty of sunshine so I hope everyone has a great weekend! - JD
