While browsing Pinterest, I came across the greatest set of recipes; jam and gin mixed with Perrier. These quick and easy Perrier cocktail recipes are fantastic for a multitude of reasons: the ingredients required are items you are most likely to already have on hand, they're perfect for hosting surprise guests, and... the holidays while certainly festive and jolly, can and will drive even the most positive of personalities to drink. So, in honor of the holidays, I will be hosting a weekly drink recipe to bring you a little extra joy for the season.

1 oz. Half Moon Orchard Gin
