Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1” knob fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
1 cup fresh cranberries (plus extra for garnish)
1/3 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed, or store-bought)
3/4 cup tequila
1/2 cup grand marnier (or triple sec)
Instructions
Make the cranberry ginger simple syrup: Add sugar, water and ginger to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir often and heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Add the cranberries and syrup (including ginger!) to a blender or food processor and run until dark red and smooth. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids. Save the relish in the fine mesh strainer for another use!
Combine the following in a large wide-mouth jar or cocktail shaker: syrup, orange juice, tequila and grand marnier. Screw lid on tight, shake well and pour over a salt-rimmed glass of ice.
Garnish with additional cranberries and an orange wedge.
