Instructions
For the Ginger Simple Syrup:

- 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!
