Christmas Gin Fizz, the Perfect Christmas Cocktail

I teamed up with Girlie Foodie Welsh and Boomerang Productions to create a series of films featuring my go recipes for the Ultimate Christmas Party.
It's nice to have a tipple at Christmas time and my favourite has got to be gin, this cocktail is light and refreshing thanks to the mint, but still Christmassy and warming because of the cranberries and gingerbeer.

Ingredients:
For the simple syrup:
100g caster sugar
100ml water
A handful of fresh cranberries
For the cocktail:
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
A handful of fresh cranberries
A handful of fresh mint
1 cup of gin
1 bottle of gingerale
Lots of ice
1. Make the simple syrup: In a medium saucepan, bring cranberries, sugar, and water to a simmer over medium, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until cranberries are tender but haven't burst about 8-10 minutes. Leave to cool, this can be made the day before and kept in the fridge.
2. In a large jug add the lemon, orange cranberries, simple syrup, mint and gin. Muddle this mix together with a wooden spoon.
3. Add lots of ice, fill to the brim with ginger ale, give it a good stir and enjoy!
