Christmas spiced cranberry margarita
Mexican 10 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves and star anise. Bring the mixture to a simmer over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for approx. 10-15 minutes until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool.
- Once cooled, strain the syrup to remove the cranberry solids and spices. Transfer the syrup to a bottle or jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a jug, combine the cranberry juice, lime juice, orange juice and spiced cranberry syrup.
- Run a lime wedge around the rims of 4 glasses. Dip the rims in sugar.
- Place the ice cubes in the glasses. Pour approx. 250ml of the cranberry juice mixture into each glass then top with the sparkling water, stirring gently to mix. Decorate with a few fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary. Serve immediately.
