Preparation
In a medium saucepan, bring cranberries, orange juice, and water to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and jammy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the orange zest, and set aside to cool.
On a small, flat plate, mix together the salt, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
You will need 8 old fashioned/small cocktail glasses. Rub a wedge of lime along the rim of each glass, then dip it into the sugar and spice blend.
Repeat for remaining glasses, then fill each with ice.
To make each cocktail individually, combine lime juice, orange juice, tequila, and cranberry jam in a cocktail shaker.
Cover and shake until the outside is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into prepared glass and serve with star anise.
