Equipment
- 1 Cocktail Shaker
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Cranberry Juice Blend
- 2 ounces Tequila Blanco
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 ounce Triple Sec
- Fresh cranberries optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Rim your margarita glass with salt.
- Into a cocktail shaker goes the tequila, cranberry juice, Triple Sec, and fresh lime juice. Use a jigger to make sure you’re using the correct amount of ingredients.
- Add ice to the shaker, then shake the ingredients well for several seconds.
- Strain the mixture into the margarita glass with ice and salt rim. Garnish with fresh cranberries or lime slices if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you find the taste to be too tart for your liking, balance the flavors by adding some simple syrup or agave syrup.
- If you don’t like using a lot of ice in your margaritas (which can end up watering them down), you can opt to chill the glasses and ingredients before using them.
- Alternatively, you can add some fresh cranberries into your ice cube trays before freezing to add a fun look to your margarita. It won't add any flavor but it will look cool!
