Ingredients
- 3 oz Gin
- 2 oz Cranberry Orange Simple Syrup
- .75 oz Runamok Maple Tonic Syrup
- Tonic to top it off with
Cranberry Orange Simple Syrup
- 1 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup pure organic cane sugar
- 1 navel orange
Instructions
- In a sauce pan stir the fresh cranberries, cane sugar and water. Peel orange, discard the peel and section off the oranges slices and place in the sauce pan. Stir for about a minute to help sugar dissolve
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down to a simmer-- medium low heat. For 15 minutes let it simmer, the cranberries will start to "pop" and soften.
- Give it a good stir occasionally, then remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Place a fine sieve or small strainer over large mason jar or container, start slowly pouring the simple syrup in the strainer. With the back of a spoon squeeze the juice out of the cranberries left and orange slices. Discard the cranberries and orange pulp occasionally as you continue to strain it.
- Then place on counter to cool completely before using! ( sometimes I cannot wait for it to cool completely and that is okay-- especially because you will be using ice anyways!)
