Gin and cranberry

Posted On February 24, 2009

I had gin, but mixers were thin on the ground.  I settled for cranberry juice, or, at least, ‘cranberry juice drink’ which contains all manner of other things, presumably because this is cheaper than squeezing the vitamin-rich pulp of actual berries until the carton is full.  I always dilute stuff like this anyway, not least because it makes it go further.  So it was a measure of gin, ‘cranberry juice drink’ and about one third of a glass of water.  It was all right, but I will make a point of getting tonic next time, to enjoy the classic favourite: gin and tonic, with a segment of lime.
