An autumn-inspired gin cocktail. In the foreground, a tall, elegant glass holds a clear, effervescent gin cocktail, garnished with a sprig of rosemary and a twist of orange peel. On the wooden table beside the glass, there are juniper berries and a few thin slices of orange. The background features a rustic autumn setting, with a burlap cloth, scattered colorful maple leaves, and a small, open book about cocktails. The scene is complemented by a warm, soft light, suggesting a cozy indoor atmosphere. In the distance, visible through a window, is a serene view of a forest with trees adorned in fall colors under a gentle afternoon light.
