Today I’m going to share with you on one of my most favorite holiday martinis! This holiday martini is super easy to make because it only has 3 ingredients.
This is a martini that everyone is guaranteed to love! Just look at how pretty it is! The slight sweetness of the white cranberry juice, combined with the tartness of the gin is the perfect combination!
Enjoy!
Note: white cranberry juice can sometimes be hard to find. I don’t know if you have a Safeway/Vons in your area, but they always carry it!
- 2 oz. White Cranberry Juice
- 2 oz Gin or Vodka {I prefer gin but choose whichever one you like best!}
- A few frozen cranberries
- Add a few frozen cranberries to a martini glass.
- Fill a martini shaker with ice.
- Pour white cranberry juice and gin {or vodka} into the shaker. Shake.
- Pour contents of the shaker into the martini glass, over the cranberries.

Yeah it’s tricky to find. There’s only one store in our town that carries it! I was able to find it online for you though. 🙂 Here’s the link: http://www.shoprite.com/pd/Ocean-Spray/White-Cranberry-Juice/64-fl-oz/031200281272/.
Enjoy!

Recipe states 2 oz of white cranberry twice why not just 4 oz the same with the alcohol please explain and it is here a way to make a batch of these refrigerate then put in shaker

That’s so weird, I don’t know why the recipe app was wigging out but thank you for bringing it to my attention, it’s fixed now. This is still one of our favorite martinis for this time of year, we were just drinking them last night! 🙂 When I make them now I just do the ingredients 50/50, so if you’re using 4 oz of cranberry juice, also add 4 oz of gin, or if you like a sweeter drink you can stick with the original recipe. 😉 We typically do them in the shaker, but if you don’t have one, stirring them with ice works too. I hope you try it, they are delicious! Oh also, you mentioned making a batch, which I did the same thing for Thanksgiving dinner. I poured it all in a big pitcher and then people could help themselves, it works great!
