Westford Gin is the ideal backbone spirit for a holiday drink, with hints of Juniper and bright citrus notes. Two other classic winter flavors – Connecticut Pears from Westford Hill Distillers Pear William brandy and New England’s own Cranberry -- combine with the Westford Gin for this festive, colorful cocktail. Fresh flavor enhancements— the rosemary, ginger root, and the fresh cranberries—reflect the signature style of all Westford Hill Distillers seasonal cocktails. This recipe is simple for anyone to make at home and can easily be created in a pitcher or punch bowl for entertaining.
