Ingredients

For the Ginger Simple Syrup:

1 cup (199g) granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 cups (340ml) water
2 2" strips lime peel
3 ounces fresh ginger peeled

For the Cranberry Margaritas:

2 cups (454ml) blanco tequila
1 and 1/4 cups (284ml) orange liqueur
1 cup (227ml) unsweetened cranberry juice
3/4 cup (170ml) fresh lime juice
1/2 cup (113ml) fresh orange juice

Garnish Ideas:

fresh mint sprigs optional
fresh rosemary sprigs optional
candied cranberries optional
lime slices optional
orange slices optional

Instructions

For the Ginger Simple Syrup:

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, ginger, and lime peel. Bring to a rolling simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then reduce to medium-low and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside and cool for at least 30 minutes.
Once cool, strain syrup into a large measuring cup, through a fine mesh strainer. Discard ginger and lime peel. Set syrup aside until needed. Or cover and store in the fridge until needed, up to two weeks.

For the Cranberry Margaritas:

In a large pitcher combine all of the simple syrup (above) with the tequila, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, and orange juice. Stir well.
Fill glasses with ice, then pour margarita mix on top. Garish suggestions: sugared cranberries, rosemary sprigs, mint sprigs, lime slices, and/or orange slices. Or anything your heart desires. All garnish options are just ideas and totally optional!
