Make Cranberry Cinnamon Simple Syrup
Step 1 

In a medium saucepan add 1 cup C&H® Turbinado Sugar and 1 cup water. Add cinnamon sticks and fresh cranberries and place on medium heat, stirring together. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until cranberries have popped.

Step 2

Once cranberries have popped, let cool completely. Once cooled, strain into a glass jar. 

Make Cranberry Margarita
Step 1

Rim glasses by combining 1 tbsp salt with 2 tsp fresh orange zest on a small plate. Rim the lime wedge around the rim of the glass and roll in the salt mixture. Place glass in the freezer to chill while making cocktail.

Step 2

In a cocktail shaker add tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, 1 tsp fresh orange zest, and cranberry cinnamon simple syrup made earlier. Then add ice and shake vigorously, about 20 seconds.

Step 3

Double strain into final glass filled with ice (or filled with decorative cranberry ice). 

Step 4 

Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary, fresh cranberries, and lime wheel.

Additional Tips

You can store syrup for 2-4 weeks in the refrigerator.
