=== Ingredients ===
'''For the Spiced Cranberry Cordial'''
* 3 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
* 2 whole star anise pods
* 5 cardamom pods
* 3 whole cloves
* 1 cup (240ml) water
* 2 cups (400g) sugar
* Peel of one orange (use a vegetable peeler to remove zest only)
* 2 cups (225g) fresh cranberries
* 1 cup (240ml) fresh juice from about 8 limes
* 3/4 teaspoon (3g) kosher salt

'''For the Cocktail Mix (8 Servings)'''
* 1 cup (240ml) Spiced Cranberry Cordial (see note)
* 1 cup (240ml) freshly squeezed juice from 2 pink grapefruits
* 1 1/2 cups (360ml) London Dry gin

'''To Serve'''
* 1 bottle (750ml) chilled sparkling wine, to top
* Fresh cranberries threaded on cocktail picks, for garnish

=== Preparation ===
'''For the Spiced Cranberry Cordial'''

Add cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom, and cloves to a saucepan and toast over medium heat, shaking pan frequently, until fragrant; make sure not to let them burn. Add water, sugar, orange peel, cranberries, lime juice, and salt and stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook, using a wooden spoon to smash fruit against side of pan, until all of the cranberries have popped. Remove from heat and let cool completely, 1 to 2 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a resealable container. Cordial can be kept up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

'''For the Cocktail Mix'''

Up to 2 hours before serving, mix cordial, grapefruit juice, and gin in a pitcher, bottle, or resealable container. Use immediately or store up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Cocktail mix makes 8 servings; feel free to double the recipe.

'''For Each Cocktail'''

Fill a Collins glass with ice and add 3 1/2 ounces (105ml) Cocktail Mix and 2 ounces (60ml) chilled sparkling wine. Stir gently and garnish with skewered cranberries.
