- 3 fl oz ginger beer
Instructions

- Top with 3 fl oz of ginger beer and enjoy garnished with cranberries and sprigs of thyme.
Notes
*Non alcoholic gin: We love this zero proof gin from Ritual. It gives you the same bite and depth of flavor that you'd get from regular gin, but without the booze. If you can't find an alcohol free gin alternative, simply leave it out and slightly increase the quantities of the remaining ingredients.
Make ahead: We combine the all of ingredients (except the ginger beer) in a mason jar and store in the fridge. When you're ready to serve, give it a shake, pour the mixture over ice and top with the ginger beer.
Tip for squeezing citrus: If you store your citrus in the refrigerator, be sure to give it a good roll against your counter for 10-15 seconds, or throw it in the microwave for ten seconds. This will help maximize the amount of juice you'll get out of your lime or orange.
No cocktail shaker? Just add all the liquids except the ginger beer to a tall glass filled with ice, stir, and then top off with the ginger beer.
