40ml gin
20ml lemon juice

Rocking Around The Cocktail Tree
This one works well for one, but scales up to fill a tree with ease!
Ingredients
35ml gin
1 tbsp cranberry jam/jelly.
Several sprigs of fresh rosemary
Mediterranean tonic
Method
Muddle together the gin and cranberry jam. Add the rosemary and muddle lightly – enough to release some of the oils from the rosemary, whilst keeping the rosemary mostly intact. Top with tonic and serve.

Float a couple of little pieces of rosemary on top too for a fuller effect.
