Ingredients
- 2 ounces tequila, blanco or silver
- 1 ounce Cointreau or triple sec
- 3 ounces cranberry juice
- 1 ounce lime juice
- ½ teaspoon simple syrup, optional
- Sugar for rimming, optional*
- Cranberries, for serving, optional
- Rosemary sprig, optional
Instructions
Prep:
- If you enjoy a rimmed glass, prep the rim by rubbing the glass with a lime wedge along the rim. Spread some sugar on a plate, roll it over the sugar to coat the rim, and set aside.
Make the marg:
- Fill a shaker with ice and add tequila, Cointreau or triple sec, cranberry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using). Shake well to combine until the shaker is frosted.
Serve & Garnish:
- Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice and pour the cocktail through the strainer.
- Garnish with some fresh cranberries and a rosemary sprig.
Notes
- While traditional margaritas are rimmed with salt, I enjoy this cocktail rimmed with sugar. You can also serve it without.
