Spiced Cranberry Syrup recipe: Bring equal parts water and sugar (2 cups, each) to a boil. Add 2 cups of cranberries, 1 tbsp of cinnamon spice and 2 orange slices to the syrup and let simmer for at least 10 minutes on low heat until you get a bright red color. Let it chill and strain into a jar to remove excess ingredients. Any remaining syrup can be refrigerated and used for up to 2 weeks.

Pack your mug with fresh ice. Add all the ingredients minus the ginger beer into shaker tin with ice, shake, and strain into the mug. Top the cocktail with ginger beer and garnish with a dehydrated or fresh lime wheel and cranberries.
