Sounds horrible, right? But, wow.... they're incredible. You have to use GOOD gin. Okay, it doesn't have to be Hendrick's or Right... but it should NOT be Fleischman's either! Make sure it's at least triple distilled. Why? Because it's better and will help in the hangover department. We make them like this:
1 oz. really good gin (see above comments)
1/2 oz. really good orange liqueur - Patron's Citronge, Cointreau.... NOT Triple Sec (Yuck!)
1 oz. cranberry - you can even use diet... it works and cuts carbs
1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 to 1 oz. water - depending on your taste
Shake with ice in a Boston shaker and strain into a "triangle" glass. (AKA Martini glass)
I don't have a picture. They don't last long enough to take a picture anyway.....
You must have strong will power so you don't drink these into oblivion.
