The Aurora Bliss combines elderflower tonic water with the fresh flavors of muddled lime and cranberries, all perfectly complemented by the citrus-forward Harmony Spirits Gin.
Equipment
- 12 oz. cocktail glass
- Jigger
- Muddler
Ingredients
- 1.25 to 1.5 oz Harmony Spirits Gin
- 3 to 4 Fresh Cranberries, 2-3 more for garnish (optional)
- 1 Slice Lime
- Elderflower Tonic Water
- Cranberry Juice (optional)
- Ice (to fill glass)
Recipe
- Put 3-4 fresh cranberries and half of your slice of lime into the bottom of your cocktail glass. Pour in a splash of the Elderflower Tonic Water, then muddle the fruit. Be sure to break open the cranberries and also muddle the lime rind to release the oils.
- Top the muddled fruit with ice.
- Pour in 1.25 to 1.5 oz Harmony Spirits Gin.
- Top with Elderflower Tonic Water.
- Garnish with the remaining half slice of lime and with 2-3 more fresh cranberries, if you desire. Serve.
Notes
- We recommend a jigger with one side measuring 1.25 oz or 1.5 oz for your spirit and either 0.5 oz or 1 oz on the smaller end. A standard spirit pour is 1.25-1.5 ounces.
- Not all spirits are created equal. Using Harmony Spirits Gin ensures a consistent and perfectly curated premium cocktail every time. Not all gins will pair well with all mixers–please keep that in mind if you choose to use a different gin.
- We recommend Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water for its crisp, fresh taste that is not overly sweetened, but whichever brand you use/can find should make an excellent cocktail.
- If you want more cranberry flavor in this cocktail, leave room for a splash of cranberry juice and add after adding the tonic water.
