Preparation:

Step 1
• Prepare the syrup:
  
  Quarter the tangerines and squeeze the juice into a saucepan. Add the sugar, water, and tangerine pulp and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the liquid through a sieve placed over a measuring cup, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Cool the syrup to room temperature and pour into a pitcher.
Step 2
• Add cranberry juice, lime juice, and vodka and stir well. Refrigerate for 25 minutes. Freeze 6–8 martini glasses.
Step 3
• When ready to serve, strain the cocktail into a shaker filled with ice. Shake well to chill. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish each serving with a tangerine wedge. Sip and enjoy!
