Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- 5 1/3 cups cranberries
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsps cointreau (orange liqueur)
Preparation
Step 1
Bring water and sugar to boil in a large saucepan. Make sure to stir constantly until the sugar is well dissolved. Add cranberries and allow to simmer uncovered until cranberries have collapsed. This should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Pour through a mesh seive into a bowl, using a rubber spatula to press out as much liquid from the seive as possible. Cool the liquid in the fridge for an hour.
After an hour, stir in the vodka, lime juice, and cointreau, then mix well in a blender. Pour the syrup into a walled cookie sheet and freeze. Once it's frozen, break the ice into chunks, blend well in the blender again, and pour back into the cookie sheet. Refreeze, then blend one last time. After the last time blending, pour into an airtight container and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
