Steps:
- Place all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake until the granita melts completely. Pour into a martini glass and serve immediately.
- Place the water, cranberries and sugar into a small saucepan, set over medium-high heat and simmer until the berries begin to pop, approximately 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Puree with a stick blender, blender or food processor, for 1 minute. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer directly into a metal 13 by 9-inch pan. Do not press on the skins. Simply allow the juice to drip through the strainer. Add the zest and stir to combine. Place in the freezer until set, at least 6 hours and up to overnight. Once frozen, scrape the mixture with a fork to create a shaved ice texture. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries, and they will give your sorbet a more vibrant color.
- Simmer the cranberries until they burst: This will help to extract their flavor and color.
- Add a little bit of sugar: Sugar will help to balance out the tartness of the cranberries.
- Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help to create a smooth and creamy sorbet.
- Freeze the sorbet for at least 4 hours: This will allow the sorbet to firm up and develop its flavor.
- Serve the sorbet immediately: Sorbet is best served immediately after it is made, as it will start to melt quickly.
