Test Kitchen Tip
If you prefer, you can swap the tequila for vodka or champagne. Or, for a non-alcoholic version, go with club soda.

Heat 2 cups cranberries, ⅔ cup orange juice, and sugar in a saucepan over medium. Once boiling, reduce heat to low; simmer until cranberries are soft, about 5 minutes.
Press mixture through a fine-mesh sieve; let cool completely.
Combine 6 cups orange juice and tequila in a large pitcher; chill while cranberry purée cools.
Spoon 2 Tbsp. purée into the bottom of each of eight glasses. Slowly pour 1 cup orange-tequila mixture into each glass. Garnish each glass with cranberries and
an orange slice.
