Spiced Cranberry Margaritas

SPICED CRANBERRY SYRUP:

In a sauce pan over medium heat, bring the water, sugar, cranberries, ginger, cinnamon and orange zest to a light boil. Once the cranberries have popped and sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and let it steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain and set aside. It should yield about 1 cup.

MARGARITAS:

In a pitcher, combine the tequila, Cointreau or Grand Mariner, cranberry juice, orange juice, lime juice, and spiced cranberry syrup. Pour over ice, rim with salt, and garnish to serve.
