Shaken or stirred?

The rule of thumb is that cocktails with juice should be shaken to aerate and mix. Cocktails with only alcohol should be stirred.

Make a sugared rim

Rub the lemon wedge around the lowball glass. Roll the outside of the glass in the sugar. Lightly knock off loose sugar.

Cranberry juice vs cocktail

Ugly Duckling Bakery

This cranberry gin cocktail calls for pure cranberry juice. You could sub in cranberry cocktail, which is much sweeter, but then skip the sugared rim.

Other Negroni Variations
