If you enjoy a rimmed glass, prep the rims by rubbing the glasses with a lime wedge along the rim. Spread some sugar on a plate, roll them over the sugar to coat the rims, and set aside.
Pitcher Sized:
Place a few ice cubes inside a pitcher. Measure and pour the Reposado tequila, Cointreau, cranberry juice, lime juice, agave or simple syrup into the pitcher. Stir with a wooden spoon and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Single:
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:
Fill the prepared glasses with fresh ice and pour the cocktail through the strainer.
Garnish with some fresh cranberries.
Notes
This margarita can also be made with Blanco or silver tequila.
You can use triple sec for this cocktail instead of Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
Make this a single cocktail by adding 2 ounces of Reposado tequila + 1 ounce Cointreau or triple sec + 2 ounces cranberry juice + 1 ounce lime juice + ½ teaspoon agave or simple syrup in a shaker. Shake until the sides are frosted and pour into a prepared glass.
