Cran-Apple Gin Holiday Cocktail

I added this cran-apple gin holiday cocktail recipe to my new recipe journal. I juiced fresh cranberries and apples to create a homemade simple syrup for the cocktail. The syrup added so much flavor. You have to try it over the holidays if you’re looking for a sweet fruity cocktail to share with your guests.
