Ingredients
  

Cranberry Jam:

  • cup ¾ fresh cranberries
  • cup ¼white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Cocktail:

  • 1 wedge Meyer lemon
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • cranberry jam see above
  • cup ¼ Meyer lemon juice
  • cup ½ fresh orange juice
  • cup ¾ white tequila

Instructions
 

Cranberry Jam:

  • Using a small saucepan, bring the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and ¼ cup water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, occasionally, until mixture thickens and becomes "jammy". This took only 15 minutes, half the time predicted in the BA version.
  • Allow the jam to cool, then cover and chill in fridge.

Cocktail:

  • Rub the edges of the glasses with the lemon wedge. Mix the salt and sugar in a small plate. Dip the rim of each glass in the salt-sugar mix and swirl to coat the rim.
  • Combine the cranberry jam, lemon juice, orange juice and tequila in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cover, shake for 30 seconds, strain and pour into glasses filled with ice cubes.
