MERRY CHRISTMAS
I discovered this Gin a while back, and LOVED it!! I don't usually enjoy gin, and could never understand the attraction my husband had to a refreshing gin and tonic on a hot summers day - until Brandons!!
I then came to find out it is made right here in Arkansas, at the first legal distillery in this state - and everything is sourced from Arkansas - the grains, barrels, boxes, labels - everything!!
I am very excited to try their vodka and they also make Arkansas Lightning (unaged whiskey) and Arkansas young bourbon whiskey.
We recently hosted a dinner party and I wanted to start with a fun, seasonal cocktail - this simple, delicious mix was perfect. A festive start to a fabulous evening!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
1 ounce gin
1 ounce cranberry juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
club soda
Pour gin and juices into glass filled with ice, stir, top with club soda.
Garnish with cranberries.
Enjoy!

We just discovered Brandon's as well! So far we've just had the vodka (which was great), and we can't wait to try the gin, bourbon, and Arkansas lightning.
