Cranberry jam:
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Assembly:
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 lime wedge, plus 2 ounces fresh juice
4 ounces fresh orange juice
6 ounces tequila

Steps:

  • For cranberry jam:
  • Bring cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and jammy, 30-40 minutes. Mix in orange zest; let cool.
  • DO AHEAD: Jam can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.
  • For assembly:
  • Mix salt, sugar, and five-spice powder on a small plate. Rub rims of Old Fashioned glasses with lime wedge; dip in salt mixture and fill glasses with ice.
  • For each cocktail, combine 1/2 ounce lime juice, 1 ounce orange juice, 1 1/2 ounces tequila, and 2 tablespoons cranberry jam in a cocktail shaker; fill with ice. Cover and shake until outside is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into prepared glass.
