A cocktail to start the weekend off right!

This is one of those cocktails that will knock your socks off.  I love the freshness of the cucumber juice (save the extra in the fridge) and the tartness of the Cranberry Juice.  I used Ocean Spray Sparkling Cranberry, which is juice with sparkling water so you get the fizz in your cocktail. If you would prefer to use straight cranberry just add a topping of club soda to get your bubbles.

You could use Vodka instead of Gin, but I really loved the taste of Gin with the other flavors.
