Photo: Ginger Cranberry Cocktail (Frozen Vodka or Gin) Recipe
Ingredients
For Ginger syrup:
- 4-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 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:
- 1 cup frozen cranberries
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 cups vodka or gin
- 2 cups cranberry juice
Directions
1 cup ginger syrup, or to taste
- Splash club soda
- Shaved ginger
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. Put ice in low-ball glasses and fill glasses about 2/3 full. Top off with club soda and garnish with a shaving of fresh ginger.
Note: Can be made without soda for a martini

I made this for my New Years get together just the other day. I was really concerned because it dawned on me that it was just like a cranberry and vodka and that is one drink that I really dislike. I made it anyway, and once you add the lime juice and ginger syrup, all the flavors come together and it is fantastic! everyone loved it!

Everybody LOVES this recipe and it goes in a flash so now I make enough for 5.5 batches for about 40 people. No one drinks anything else when I serve this.
