Cranberry White Wine Cooler



12 ounces bag cranberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 (750 ml) bottles of Pinot Grigio
3 small limes, sliced in thin rounds

In a saucepan over medium low heat add the sugar, water, and 8 ounces of cranberries. Place the remaining 4 ounces of cranberries in the freezer. Stirring occasionally, simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Over the punch bowl, press the syrup and the cranberries through a strainer, discard cranberries. Add the wine into the punch bowl, stir to incorporate, refrigerate. Once ready to serve, add the lime slices and frozen cranberries into the punch bowl as well, the cranberries will keep the wine chilled by acting as ice cubes.

*I used 12 ounces of frozen cranberries to keep the wine cooler cold, however serving became a bit difficult, next time I will only use 4 ounces
