Method
1
Add the gin, ruby port, lemon juice, cinnamon syrup, and cranberry preserves to a cocktail shaker.
2
Fill the shaker halfway with ice, seal, and shake hard until the outside of the shaker is very frosty — about 15 seconds.
3
Fill a chilled rocks glass with crushed or cracked ice.
4
Strain the cocktail into the rocks glass over the crushed ice.
5
Slap the mint sprig across your palm to release the oils, drop it into the glass, and skewer the blackberry and raspberry on a pick to rest across the rim.
