Notes
calories are taken for 1 shot and I estimated 16 shots per bottle.
The orange and cranberry gin will keep for up to a year.
Serve this chilled (keep some in the freezer) or with ice or with a mixer. It makes great cocktails too.
Just use a basic supermarket gin for making this recipe.
You can use wither fresh or frozen cranberries.
