Cranberry Margarita
Cranberry Margarita, a refreshing seasonal tequila cocktail for the holidays
Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 245kcal
Equipment
- Stemless Wine Glass (I used the gold-bottomed ones linked here)
- Small dish (for salt rim)
- Knife and cutting board (if using fresh lime)
- Citrus juicer (if using fresh lime)
Ingredients
Garnish
- 2 tablespoon fine-grained salt
- 1 fresh lime slice
- 5 to 10 fresh cranberries (optional, washed and dried)
Cocktail
- ¾ ounce lime juice (preferably fresh squeezed)
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- ½ ounce triple sec (I used Cointreau)
- 1½ ounce cranberry juice
- 1½ ounce tequila (blanco or silver)
Instructions
Garnish
- Put the salt in a small dish.
- Use half of a lime to wet the rim of your cocktail glass. If you don't have a fresh lime, you can use water.
- Dip the wet rim of the glass into the salt, then lift and turn the glass. Dip again until the full rim is coated in salt.
- Cut a slit in the lime slice so you can attach it to the rim of the glass later. Set it aside along with the fresh cranberries.
Cocktail
- Add the lime juice, simple syrup, triple sec, cranberry juice and tequila to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice, seal it and shake about 15 to 20 times.
- Add fresh ice to your cocktail glass and strain the drink into the glass.
- Add the fresh cranberries to the glass and attach the lime slice to the rim before serving.
