The nose is bright and fruit-forward, with bright black cherry and plenty of cranberry juice.
On the palate, this cocktail is dark yet bright, really nicely balanced and delivers fruit notes that don't taste artificial whatsoever. Lots of cranberry juice, plus cherry and some red apple character.
Tart and slightly bitter on the finish. Cranberry aplenty.
It's not overwhelmingly complex, and I wouldn't mind a little more gin character joining the party, but those are minor complaints. Overall, this is a delicious canned cocktail that will be hard to beat when it comes to summer sipping. The Dillion's gin lineup is supremely underrated in the canned cocktail space.
