Equipment

cocktail shaker
juicer
rimmer dish or small plate
measuring jigger
garnish stick

Ingredients

Cranberry Orange Margarita

2 ounces silver tequila
2 ounces cranberry juice
½ ounces orange liqueur (I used Grand Marnier)
1 ounces fresh lime juice

Garnishes

rimming sugar (see post for other options)
sugared cranberries

Instructions

Prepare a cocktail glass by dipping the rim in water or agave syrup and then rimming sugar. Add fresh ice and prepare the candided cranberries on a garnish stick.
Add all of the margarita ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well, 10-12 seconds. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with sugared cranberries. Cheers!

Notes

Opt for high-quality silver tequila and fresh ingredients like freshly squeezed lime juice. Quality ingredients elevate the overall taste of the cocktail.
For a perfect sugar rim, dip the rim in agave syrup or water, and then the sugar. Alternatively, you can rim the edge with a lime slice for an added sour element to complement the sweetness.
