Ginger cranberry cocktail (frozen vodka or gin)

Method

Ginger cranberry cocktail (frozen vodka or gin)

For the ginger syrup:

1) Place all syrup ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until sugar dissolves and the ginger is infused in the syrup, about 20 minutes. Strain and allow to cool fully before use.

For the drink:

2) Crush the frozen cranberries in a large glass pitcher. Add the lime juice and their juiced wedges to the pitcher. Pour in the vodka, cranberry juice, and ginger syrup.

3) Put ice in low-ball glasses and fill glasses about ⅔ full. Top off with club soda and garnish with a shaving of fresh ginger.

Note: Can be made without soda for a martini.
