Vodka Infusion: (do this step first) Add cranberries, kaffir lime leaves, orange slices (dehydrated works best but fresh can work if being consumed sooner), honey, and vodka to a sealable container. Shake and let sit at least 4 hours. I let mine sit overnight. Ratios can be eyeballed and adjusted to taste. Cocktail: Pour 2oz of infused vodka into rocks glass over large ice cube. Add a splash of white cranberry juice (red will also work). Top with tonic water and stir. Garnish with cranberries.
