Step 1

Use a vegetable peeler to remove two, 2-inch strips of orange peel. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, water, orange juice, cinnamon, sugar, salt, and the orange peels.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. The mixture will bubble and foam as the cranberries begin to pop and break open.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl, gently pressing the cranberry mixture to extract the juices.

Step 4

Pour into a beverage bottle and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

Step 5

Fill a cocktail shaker up with ice and add in gin, lime juice, and cranberry syrup.

Step 6

Give the cocktail shaker a good shake until the exterior is cold and frosted. Pour into your desired martini or cocktail glass.

Step 7

Garnish options are frozen cranberries, sugared romemary, and dried citrus slices.
