I make the base components a day in advance so they can chill. The mint tea is made by steeping 2 c. of fresh mint leaves in 4 c. of boiling water for 10 minutes. Strain and cool.
The cranberry syrup is made by boiling 2 c. of whole fresh cranberries with 1 c. of sugar and 1 c. of water. Once that mixture boils, remove from heat, let cool, then strain and refrigerate the syrup.
Use a bar shaker full of ice to make each cocktail -1/3 c. of the mint tea, 2 Tbs. of the cranberry syrup, 1 Tbs. limoncello, 2 Tbs. vodka, and 1/2 tsp. lemon juice. Shake, then strain into your glass.
Be careful - these are more potent that you think!
